Leviticus 23:4

"“‘Six days shall work be done, but on the seventh day is a Sabbath of solemn rest, a holy convocation; you shall do no kind of work. It is a Sabbath to the LORD in all your dwellings."

Key Reflection

This verse establishes the Sabbath as a day of complete rest and worship dedicated solely to the Lord, setting it apart as a holy convocation where no work is to be done, emphasizing its sanctity and divine command. This practice reflects both obedience to God's law and a communal gathering to reinforce faith and reverence.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

The recurrence of the sabbatical number in the five annual days of holy convocation should be noticed.
