This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
This day is holy unto the Lord your God, to wit, as a day of feasting and thanksgiving to God, and rejoicing in his mercies; for otherwise even fasting days were holy to God in the general, though not in the sense here meant.
All the people wept, out of a deep sense of their great guilt, and of their extreme danger by reason of it.
