In the context of ancient Israel, carrying a load was considered work, which was forbidden on the Sabbath. This command reflects the broader principle of ceasing from labor to focus on spiritual matters. The prohibition is rooted in the Fourth Commandment (<a href="/exodus/20-8.htm">Exodus 20:8-11</a>), which calls for a day of rest in imitation of God's rest after creation. The emphasis on not carrying loads highlights the importance of setting aside daily concerns to honor God.<p><b>or do any work on the Sabbath day</b><br>The Sabbath was instituted as a day of rest and worship, a sign of the covenant between God and Israel (<a href="/exodus/31-16.htm">Exodus 31:16-17</a>). This commandment was not only a physical rest but also a spiritual discipline, reminding the Israelites of their dependence on God. The prohibition of work on the Sabbath is a recurring theme in the Old Testament, underscoring the importance of dedicating time to God. In the New Testament, Jesus addresses the spirit of the Sabbath, emphasizing mercy and the well-being of individuals over strict legalism (<a href="/mark/2-27.htm">Mark 2:27-28</a>).<p><b>but you must keep the Sabbath day holy</b><br>To keep the Sabbath holy means to set it apart for sacred purposes. Holiness involves separation from the ordinary and dedication to God. The Sabbath was a time for worship, reflection, and community, reinforcing the Israelites' identity as God's chosen people. This commandment is a call to prioritize spiritual renewal and communal worship. The concept of holiness is central to the biblical narrative, reflecting God's nature and His desire for His people to be distinct from the surrounding nations.<p><b>just as I commanded your forefathers</b><br>This phrase connects the commandment to the historical covenant relationship between God and the ancestors of Israel. It serves as a reminder of the continuity of God's law and the faithfulness required of His people. The reference to the forefathers underscores the longstanding tradition of Sabbath observance, rooted in the creation narrative and the Exodus experience. It also highlights the importance of obedience to God's commands as a sign of faithfulness and trust in His provision.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/j/jeremiah.htm">Jeremiah</a></b><br>A major prophet in the Old Testament, known for his messages of warning and hope to the people of Judah.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/j/judah.htm">Judah</a></b><br>The southern kingdom of Israel, which was often warned by prophets like Jeremiah about their disobedience to God's laws.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/s/sabbath.htm">Sabbath</a></b><br>A day of rest and worship, commanded by God to be kept holy, as a sign of the covenant between God and His people.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/f/forefathers.htm">Forefathers</a></b><br>Refers to the ancestors of the Israelites, who were given the command to observe the Sabbath as part of the Mosaic Law.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/j/jerusalem.htm">Jerusalem</a></b><br>The capital city of Judah, where Jeremiah often delivered his prophecies and where the Sabbath was to be observed.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/t/the_importance_of_obedience.htm">The Importance of Obedience</a></b><br>Observing the Sabbath was a direct command from God, highlighting the importance of obedience to His Word.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/r/rest_as_a_divine_principle.htm">Rest as a Divine Principle</a></b><br>The Sabbath underscores the need for physical and spiritual rest, reminding us of our dependence on God.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/h/holiness_in_daily_life.htm">Holiness in Daily Life</a></b><br>Keeping the Sabbath holy is a call to integrate holiness into our daily routines, setting apart time for God.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/c/covenant_relationship.htm">Covenant Relationship</a></b><br>The Sabbath is a sign of the covenant between God and His people, reminding us of our relationship with Him.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/m/modern_application_of_sabbath_principles.htm">Modern Application of Sabbath Principles</a></b><br>While the specific observance of the Sabbath may differ today, the principles of rest, worship, and holiness remain relevant.<div class="vheading2">Lists and Questions</div><a href="/top10/lessons_from_jeremiah_17.htm">Top 10 Lessons from Jeremiah 17</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/how_does_god_view_re-enslavement_vs._slavery.htm">Jeremiah 34:11-17 - How does God's condemnation of re-enslavement align with other passages where slavery was permitted (e.g., Leviticus 25)?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/how_is_'unquenchable_fire'_reconciled.htm">(Jeremiah 17:27) How should the promise of 'unquenchable fire' in Jerusalem be reconciled with the city's repeated rebuildings and continued existence?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/how_reconcile_deut._4_2_with_later_changes.htm">Deuteronomy 4:2 restricts adding or subtracting from God's commands--how is this reconciled with later scriptural expansions or revisions?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/why_does_jesus_alter_old_testament_laws.htm">Why does Jesus say He came to fulfill the Law (Matthew 5:17) but then seemingly change many Old Testament laws?</a><a name="commentary" id="commentary"></a><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/jeremiah/17.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(22) <span class= "bld">Neither carry forth a burden.</span>--Interpreted by the parallel passage in <a href="/context/nehemiah/13-15.htm" title="In those days saw I in Judah some treading wine presses on the sabbath, and bringing in sheaves, and lading asses; as also wine, grapes, and figs, and all manner of burdens, which they brought into Jerusalem on the sabbath day: and I testified against them in the day wherein they sold victuals.">Nehemiah 13:15-22</a>, the <span class= "ital">burden </span>would be the baskets of fruit, vegetables, or fish which were brought in from the country by the villagers who came to the Temple services, and the wares of the city which were taken to the gates to be sold in turn to them.
