SEV Biblia, Chapter 23:7

El primer día tendréis santa convocación; ninguna obra servil haréis.

John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 7. In the first day ye shall have an holy convocation , etc.] That is, on the first of the seven days of the feast of unleavened bread, even the fifteenth day of the month Nisan; this was separated from the other days of the festival, and more particularly devoted to religions exercises, (see Exodus 12:16); ye shall do no servile work therein ; such as agriculture, or any manufacture or mechanical business, which they and their servants were at other times employed in; but they might bake bread, and boil or roast their meat, and walk abroad, which they might not do on their sabbaths; and therefore it is so expressed as to distinguish it from the work forbidden on that day.

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 4-14 - The feast of the Passover was to continue seven days; not idle days spent in sport, as many that are called Christians spend their holy-days. Offerings were made to the Lord at his altar; and the people were taught to employ their time in prayer, and praise, and godl meditation. The sheaf of first-fruits was typical of the Lord Jesus who is risen from the dead as the First-fruits of them that slept. Ou Lord Jesus rose from the dead on the very day that the first-fruit were offered. We are taught by this law to honour the Lord with ou substance, and with the first-fruits of all our increase, Pr 3:9. The were not to eat of their new corn, till God's part was offered to his out of it; and we must always begin with God: begin every day with him begin every meal with him, begin every affair and business with him seek first the kingdom of God.
