Keeping the Sabbath
13 “If you aturn back your foot from 1unnecessary travel on the Sabbath,From doing your own pleasure on My holy day,And call the Sabbath a spiritualbdelight, and the holy day of the LORD honorable,And honor it, not going your cown wayOr 2engaging in your own pleasureOr dspeaking your own idle words,The ancient rabbis established strict limits for travel on the Sabbath, excepting unintentional violations and religious errands. This verse became a rabbinic proof text to rule on whether a person who had put one foot beyond the Sabbath limit for his city could reenter the city. But the Hebrew text may not refer to travel at all; turn back your foot from the Sabbath can be interpreted as an idiom referring to keeping oneself from violating the Sabbath in other ways.Lit finding.Ex 31:16, 17; 35:2, 3; Is 56:2, 4, 6; Jer 17:21-27Ps 27:4; 42:4; 84:2, 10Is 55:8Is 59:1314 Then you will take apleasure in the LORD,And I will make you ride bon the high places of the earth,And I will feed you with the promised heritage of Jacob your father;For the cmouth of the LORD has spoken.” Gen 27:28, 29; 28:13-15Job 22:26; Is 61:10Deut 32:13; 33:29; Is 33:16; Hab 3:19Is 1:20; 40:5
