Exodus 20:9 - John Trapp Complete Commentary

Bible Comments

Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:

Ver. 9. Six days shalt thou labour.] God hath reserved but one day in seven, as he reserved the tree of knowledge of good and evil; Gen 2:2-3 yet wretched men must needs clip the Lord's coin. In many places God's Sabbaths are made the voider and dunghill for all refuse businesses. The Sabbath of the Lord, the sanctified day of his rest, saith one, is shamelessly troubled and disquieted. The world is now grown perfectly profane, saith another, and can play on the Lord's day without concern. a See Trapp (for summary of Law) on " Exo 20:17 "
