And the Lord spake unto Moses , etc.] Much about the same time as before; and having delivered to him various laws concerning the holiness of the people of Israel, who were to serve him, and of the holiness of the priests, that were to minister in holy things to him, and of the purity and perfections of their sacrifices, he here appoints various times and seasons, for the more special worship and service of him: saying ; as follows.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-3 - In this chapter we have the institution of holy times; many of whic have been mentioned before. Though the yearly feasts were made mor remarkable by general attendance at the sanctuary, yet these must no be observed more than the sabbath. On that day they must withdraw from all business of the world. It is a sabbath of rest, typifying spiritual rest from sin, and rest in God. God's sabbaths are to be religiousl observed in every private house, by every family apart, as well as by families together, in holy assemblies. The sabbath of the Lord in ou dwellings will be their beauty, strength, and safety; it will sanctify build up, and glorify them.
