The Sabbath is a day set apart for cessation from labor, reflecting God's rest on the seventh day of creation (<a href="/genesis/2-2.htm">Genesis 2:2-3</a>). It serves as a reminder of God's provision and sovereignty, encouraging trust in Him rather than in human effort. The concept of "complete rest" underscores the totality of this cessation, pointing to the spiritual rest found in Christ (<a href="/hebrews/4-9.htm">Hebrews 4:9-10</a>), who offers rest for the soul (<a href="/matthew/11-28.htm">Matthew 11:28-30</a>).and you shall humble yourselves Humbling oneself is a call to repentance and self-denial, often associated with fasting and prayer (<a href="/psalms/35-13.htm">Psalm 35:13</a>; <a href="/isaiah/58-3.htm">Isaiah 58:3-5</a>). This act of humility is a recognition of human frailty and dependence on God. It aligns with the Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur), a time for the Israelites to seek forgiveness and purification (<a href="/leviticus/16-29.htm">Leviticus 16:29-31</a>). This foreshadows the ultimate atonement through Jesus Christ, who humbled Himself and became obedient to death on a cross (<a href="/philippians/2-8.htm">Philippians 2:8</a>).From the evening of the ninth day of the month until the following evening The Jewish day begins at sunset, a practice rooted in the creation account where "there was evening, and there was morning" (<a href="/genesis/1-5.htm">Genesis 1:5</a>). This timing reflects the biblical understanding of a day and is significant for the observance of holy days. The evening-to-evening observance highlights the continuity and completeness of the Sabbath rest, symbolizing the eternal rest believers will experience in God's presence (<a href="/revelation/21-3.htm">Revelation 21:3-4</a>).you are to keep your Sabbath The command to "keep" the Sabbath involves active participation in rest and worship. It is a covenant sign between God and His people (<a href="/exodus/31-16.htm">Exodus 31:16-17</a>), distinguishing them from other nations. Observing the Sabbath is an act of obedience and faith, acknowledging God's authority and provision. In the New Testament, Jesus is Lord of the Sabbath (<a href="/mark/2-27.htm">Mark 2:27-28</a>), fulfilling its purpose and inviting believers into a deeper spiritual rest through His finished work on the cross.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/m/moses.htm">Moses</a> - The prophet and leader of the Israelites who received the laws from God, including the instructions in Leviticus. 2. <a href="/topical/i/israelites.htm">Israelites</a> - The chosen people of God to whom the laws and festivals, including the Day of Atonement, were given. 3. <a href="/topical/d/day_of_atonement.htm">Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur)</a> - A significant and solemn Jewish holy day focused on atonement and repentance, which is the context of this verse. 4. <a href="/topical/s/sabbath.htm">Sabbath</a> - A day of rest instituted by God, which in this context refers to a special Sabbath associated with the Day of Atonement. 5. <a href="/topical/n/ninth_day_of_the_month.htm">Ninth Day of the Month</a> - Refers to the ninth day of the seventh month in the Hebrew calendar, marking the beginning of the Day of Atonement observance.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><a href="/topical/u/understanding_the_sabbath_rest.htm">Understanding the Sabbath Rest</a> The Sabbath is a gift from God, designed for physical rest and spiritual renewal.

It is most unaccountable why the translators varied this important formula, when it is exactly the same in the original in both passages. For the import of this phrase see <a href="/leviticus/16-31.htm" title="It shall be a sabbath of rest to you, and you shall afflict your souls, by a statute for ever.">Leviticus 16:31</a>.And ye shall afflict your souls.--Having set forth in <a href="/context/leviticus/23-30.htm" title="And whatever soul it be that does any work in that same day, the same soul will I destroy from among his people.">Leviticus 23:30-31</a>, and in the first clause of this verse, the duty of abstaining from all work, and of celebrating this day as a day of solemn rest, the law giver repeats the second feature of the day, which is of equal importance, viz., the fasting, lest some should think that doing the one and leaving the other undone would pass as having kept this law.In the ninth day of the month at even.--In accordance with the ancient mode of counting the day, the tenth of the month began with the evening of the ninth. (See <a href="/leviticus/16-29.htm" title="And this shall be a statute for ever to you: that in the seventh month, on the tenth day of the month, you shall afflict your souls, and do no work at all, whether it be one of your own country, or a stranger that sojournes among you:">Leviticus 16:29</a>.)Celebrate your sabbath.--In <a href="/leviticus/25-2.htm" title="Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, When you come into the land which I give you, then shall the land keep a sabbath to the LORD.">Leviticus 25:2</a>, where this phrase occurs again, the Authorised version inconsistently renders it keep . . . sabbath. In both instances, however, the margin has, "Heb., rest." This alternative rendering of part of the phrase has no meaning. To convey to the English reader an idea of the Hebrew idiom here used, which was the intention of the translators, the whole phrase should have been translated, which is, rest the day of rest, that is, to "keep rest," to "keep the day of rest." Just as to "fast a fast" (<a href="/2_samuel/12-16.htm" title="David therefore sought God for the child; and David fasted, and went in, and lay all night on the earth.">2Samuel 12:16</a>; <a href="/zechariah/7-5.htm" title="Speak to all the people of the land, and to the priests, saying, When you fasted and mourned in the fifth and seventh month, even those seventy years, did you at all fast to me, even to me?">Zechariah 7:5</a>) denotes "to keep a fast." In <a href="/2_samuel/12-16.htm" title="David therefore sought God for the child; and David fasted, and went in, and lay all night on the earth.">2Samuel 12:16</a> the margin has consistently reproduced the Hebraism by remarking "Heb., fasted a fast." . . . <a href="/commentaries/leviticus/23-32.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div>It הוּא֙ (hū) Pronoun - third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1931.htm">Strong's 1931: </a> He, self, the same, this, that, as, are will be a Sabbath שַׁבַּ֨ת (šab·baṯ) Noun - common singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_7676.htm">Strong's 7676: </a> Intermission, the Sabbath of complete rest שַׁבָּת֥וֹן (šab·bā·ṯō·wn) Noun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_7677.htm">Strong's 7677: </a> Sabbath observance, sabbatism for you, לָכֶ֔ם (lā·ḵem) Preposition | second person masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/.htm">Strong's Hebrew</a> and you shall humble וְעִנִּיתֶ֖ם (wə·‘in·nî·ṯem) Conjunctive waw | Verb - Piel - Conjunctive perfect - second person masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_6031.htm">Strong's 6031: </a> To be bowed down or afflicted your souls. נַפְשֹׁתֵיכֶ֑ם (nap̄·šō·ṯê·ḵem) Noun - feminine plural construct | second person masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5315.htm">Strong's 5315: </a> A soul, living being, life, self, person, desire, passion, appetite, emotion From the evening בָּעֶ֔רֶב (bā·‘e·reḇ) Preposition-b, Article | Noun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_6153.htm">Strong's 6153: </a> Evening of the ninth בְּתִשְׁעָ֤ה (bə·ṯiš·‘āh) Preposition-b | Number - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_8672.htm">Strong's 8672: </a> Nine, ninth day of the month לַחֹ֙דֶשׁ֙ (la·ḥō·ḏeš) Preposition-l, Article | Noun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_2320.htm">Strong's 2320: </a> The new moon, a month until עַד־ (‘aḏ-) Preposition <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5704.htm">Strong's 5704: </a> As far as, even to, up to, until, while the following evening מֵעֶ֣רֶב (mê·‘e·reḇ) Preposition-m | Noun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_6153.htm">Strong's 6153: </a> Evening you are to observe תִּשְׁבְּת֖וּ (tiš·bə·ṯū) Verb - Qal - Imperfect - second person masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_7673.htm">Strong's 7673: </a> To repose, desist from exertion your Sabbath.’” שַׁבַּתְּכֶֽם׃ (šab·bat·tə·ḵem) Noun - common singular construct | second person masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_7676.htm">Strong's 7676: </a> Intermission, the Sabbath <div class="vheading">Links</div><a href="/niv/leviticus/23-32.htm">Leviticus 23:32 NIV</a> <a href="/nlt/leviticus/23-32.htm">Leviticus 23:32 NLT</a> <a href="/esv/leviticus/23-32.htm">Leviticus 23:32 ESV</a> <a href="/nasb/leviticus/23-32.htm">Leviticus 23:32 NASB</a> <a href="/kjv/leviticus/23-32.htm">Leviticus 23:32 KJV</a> <a href="//bibleapps.com/leviticus/23-32.htm">Leviticus 23:32 BibleApps.com</a> <a href="//bibliaparalela.com/leviticus/23-32.htm">Leviticus 23:32 Biblia Paralela</a> <a href="//holybible.com.cn/leviticus/23-32.htm">Leviticus 23:32 Chinese Bible</a> <a href="//saintebible.com/leviticus/23-32.htm">Leviticus 23:32 French Bible</a> <a href="/catholic/leviticus/23-32.htm">Leviticus 23:32 Catholic Bible</a> <a href="/leviticus/23-32.htm">OT Law: Leviticus 23:32 It shall be a Sabbath of solemn (Le Lv Lev.) </a></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="left"><a href="/leviticus/23-31.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="Leviticus 23:31"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="Leviticus 23:31" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/leviticus/23-33.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="Leviticus 23:33"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="Leviticus 23:33" /></a></div><div id="botleft"><a href="#" onmouseover='botleft.src="/botleftgif.png"' onmouseout='botleft.src="/botleft.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botleft.png" name="botleft" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="botright"><a href="#" onmouseover='botright.src="/botrightgif.png"' onmouseout='botright.src="/botright.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botright.png" name="botright" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="bot"><iframe width="100%" height="1500" scrolling="no" src="/botmenubhnew2.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></td></tr></table></div></body></html>
