A repetition of various lawsYou must keep The Hebrew word for "keep" is "שָׁמַר" (shamar), which means to guard, protect, or observe. This word implies a vigilant and intentional action, suggesting that the observance of the Sabbath is not a passive activity but requires active participation and dedication. In the historical context, this command was given to the Israelites as a covenantal sign between them and God, emphasizing the importance of setting apart time for rest and worship. My Sabbaths and have reverence for My sanctuary I am the LORD And reverence my sanctuary--which the Israelites frequented on the Sabbath. (See Exodus 35:3.) The way to reverence the sanctuary, according to the definition of the Jewish canonists, was for an Israelite not to come into the sanctuary when legally defiled, not to ascend the mountain of the house of God with his staff in his hand, with his shoes on his feet, in his working clothes, with the dust on his feet, or carrying bags of money about his person, not to spit in the sacred precincts, or make them a thoroughfare. It is in reference to the last-mentioned rule that we are told Christ "would not suffer that any man should carry any vessel through the Temple" (Mark 11:16)--He would not allow them to use the sacred precincts as a short cut. Verse 30. - The command in this verse differs from that in verse 3 by adding the injunction to reverence my sanctuary to that requiring the observance of the sabbath. It is a matter of experience that where the sabbath is not kept, God's sanctuary is not reverenced, and that that reverence increases or fails away according as the obligation of the sabbatical law, whether in its Jewish form or its Christian form, be more or less recognized. The sabbatical ordinance is necessary as a previous condition of religious worship. Without it, the business and pleasure of the world are too strong to give way to the demands upon time made by the stated service of God. The verse is repeated in Leviticus 26:2. "When the Lord's day is kept holy, and a holy reverence for the Lord's sanctuary lives in the heart, not only are many sins avoided, but social and domestic life is pervaded by the fear of God, and characterized by devoutness and propriety" (Keil).Parallel Commentaries ...
