Exodus 16:28-30 - Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary

Bible Comments

I could wish that the jealousy which the Lord in this place, and in numberless other passages in the Bible, manifests for the observance of his holy day, was made the serious subject of consideration by all ranks and orders in this land. Oh! what a volume would it furnish if the profanations of only a single Lord's day, in this highly enlightened country, could be gathered together into one mass of particulars. Doth not the Lord say of us, as Isaiah 1:4 ? And may we not say as Isaiah 1:9 ?

Exodus 16:28-30

28 And the LORD said unto Moses, How long refuse ye to keep my commandments and my laws?

29 See, for that the LORD hath given you the sabbath, therefore he giveth you on the sixth day the bread of two days; abide ye every man in his place, let no man go out of his place on the seventh day.

30 So the people rested on the seventh day.
