Matthew Poole Commentary - Exodus 20:9 - 20:9


(Show All Books | Show All Chapters)

This Chapter Verse Commentaries:





This may be either,



1. A command to employ those days in our worldly occasions, yet so as God and religion be not neglected on those days, as many scriptures teach us. Or,



2. A permission to do so; which I prefer,



1. Because so it is a proper argument to enforce the observation of the sabbath: q.d. Grudge not me one day, when I allow you six for it.



2. Because the command of diligence in our callings would seem improperly placed here, as being of a quite different nature, and belonging to the second table, and being provided for in a distinct command, as we shall see.
