Lev 23:3 | MHM | STEP | v. 3 : The Sabbath is given special attention before describing the yearly feasts. Even though the annual feasts brought many people together at the sanctuary, the weekly Sabbath was not to be forgotten. On the Sabbath, everyone had to stop their regular work and rest. God wanted His people to use this holy day for worship and for gathering together in holy assemblies if possible. If they could not meet in large groups, they should still keep the Sabbath holy in their own homes. The Sabbath is the Lord ’s day, set apart since creation, and should be honored in every household (Leviticus 23:3; Leviticus 23:7 ).
