Exodus 35:3 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

Bible Comments

Ye shall kindle no fire throughout your habitations upon the sabbath day. Ye shall kindle no fire - The Jews understand this precept as forbidding the kindling of fire only for the purpose of doing work or dressing victuals; but to give them light and heat, they judge it lawful to light a fire on the Sabbath day, though themselves rarely kindle it-they get Christians to do this work for them.
