GOD here asserted his right and property, as the LORD of the whole earth: not unsimilar to the proprietors of earthly manors, who allow such and such seasons for breaking up the ground. But there is a sweeter sense to be given to this precept in a spiritual point of view. The six years of labour previous to the seventh year of rest, taught very expressively, the sad consequence of sin, which had introduced labour, and toil, and sorrow, into this mortal state. It is only through JESUS, that we are liberated from it, and exempt from all its penal consequences in a future life.
