Gill's Notes on the Bible
Or have ye not read in the law,.... Numbers 28:9 by which law the priests were obliged, every sabbath day, to offer up two lambs for a burnt offering; to which were annexed many servile works, as killing the sacrifice, flaying it, cutting it in pieces, and laying it on the altar, cutting of wood, and putting that in order, and kindling the fire: from all which, it might be observed,
how that on the sabbath days, the priests in the temple profane the sabbath, and are blameless. There were many things, which, according to the Jewish canons, the priests might do on the sabbath day; particularly they might slay the sacrifice: it was a rule with them,
×××ª× ×©×××× ×ת ש×ת, "that slaying drives away the sabbath" u. They might also knead, make, and bake the showbread on the sabbath day: their general rule was, as R. Akiba says, that what was possible to be done on the evening of the sabbath, did not drive away the sabbath; but what was not possible to be done on the sabbath eve, did drive away the sabbath w: so they might kill the passover, sprinkle its blood, wipe its inwards, and burn the fat on the sabbath day x, with many other things. What exculpated these men was, that what they did was done in the temple, and for the service of it, upon which an emphasis is put; and agrees with their canons, which say, that there is no prohibition in the sanctuary; ×תר ×××
××ס×ר ש××ת ××ק×ש, "that which is forbidden to be done on the sabbath, is lawful to be done in the sanctuary" y: and whereas, it might be objected to the disciples of Christ, that they were not priests; and what they did was not in the temple, but in the fields; to this it is replied, in the following words:
u T. Bab. Menachot, fol. 72. 2. w Misn. Menachot, c. 11. sect. 3. x Misn. Pesachim, c. 6. sect. 1. Maimon. Pesach. c. 1. sect. 18. y lb. sect. 16. & Hilchot Sabbat, c. 21. sect. 27.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
How he entered into the house of God - That is, the âtabernacle,â the temple not being then built.
Have ye not read in the law? - In the law, or in the books of Moses.
Profane the Sabbath - He referred them to the conduct of the priests also. On the Sabbath days they were engaged, as well as on other days, in killing beasts for sacrifice, Numbers 28:9-10. Two lambs were killed on the Sabbath, in addition to the daily sacrifice. The priests must be engaged in killing them, and making fires to burn them in sacrifice, whereas to kindle a fire was expressly forbidden the Jews on the Sabbath, Exodus 35:3. They did that which, for other persons to do, would have been âprofaningâ the Sabbath. Yet they were blameless. They did what was necessary and commanded. This was done in the very temple, too, the place of holiness, where the law should be most strictly observed.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Matthew 12:5. The priests - profane the Sabbath — Profane, i.e. put it to what might be called a common use, by slaying and offering up sacrifices, and by doing the services of the temple, as on common days, Exodus 29:38; Numbers 28:9.
