Contextual Overview

23 And Yahweh spake unto Moses, saying: 24 Speak unto the sons of Israel, saying: - In the seventh month on the first of the month, shall there be unto you a sacred rest, a trumpet-blowing commemoration a holy convocation: 25 no laborious work, shall ye do, - but ye shall bring near an altar-flame unto Yahweh. 26 And Yahweh spake unto Moses, saying, 27 Surely on the tenth of this seventh month, is, the Day of Propitiation, a holy convocation, shall it be to you, therefore shall ye humble your souls, - and bring near an altar-flame unto Yahweh. 28 And, no work, shall ye do, on this selfsame day, - for a day of propitiation, it is, to put a propitiatory-covering over you before Yahweh your God. 29 For, whosoever be the person that shall not be humbled on this selfsame day, then shall he be cut off from among his kinsfolk. 30 And, whosoever be the person that shall do any work on this selfsame day, then will I destroy that person from the midst of his people. 31 No work, shall ye do, - an age-abiding statute to your generations, in all your dwellings. 32 A sabbath of sacred rest, shall it be unto you, so shall ye humble your souls, - on the ninth of the month in the evening, from evening to evening, shall ye keep your sabbath.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Ye shall do no manner of work,.... Which is repeated, that it might be observed, and to show how strictly God required this day should be kept, and how careful men should be of breaking the command in this respect, and how much he should resent it if they did:

[it shall be] a statute for ever, throughout your generations, in all your dwellings; unto the coming of the Messiah, who, by the atoning sacrifice of himself, would answer to this law, and put an end to it.
