The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 5:12-14

Keep the Sabbath day to sanctify it, as the Lord thy God hath commanded thee. This phraseology implies that the Sabbath institute was already well known to the people of Israel; so that this commandment was intended, not to enact a new observance, but to enforce the continuance of an observance which had come down to them from earlier times. The Sabbath was to be kept by being sanctified . This means that it was to be consecrated to God to be used as he had appointed. The sanctification... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 5:12-15

The Sabbath, or a rest-day for man. (For a notice of the variations between the wording of this command in Exodus 20:1-26 . and in this chapter, see Exposition.) No Christian preacher could wisely deal homiletically with the question of the Divine intent in the appointment of a seventh-day rest, without noting, in connection with our text, the teaching of our Lord and his apostles thereon. In developing the true doctrine and use of our rest day, let us— I. INDICATE SEVERAL ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 5:12-15

The Sabbath. I. WHAT ? The essential point in the institution is the sanctification to God of a seventh part of our time, of one day in seven. Which day of the seven is observed is indifferent, not in the sense of being left to individual choice, but in respect of any inherent sanctity in one day above another ( Romans 14:5 ). The day is made holy by the Divine appointment, and by the uses we put it to. We sanctify the Sabbath: 1. By observing it as a day of rest from secular... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Deuteronomy 5:6-21

Compare Exodus 20:0 and notes.Moses here adopts the Ten Words as a ground from which he may proceed to reprove, warn, and exhort; and repeats them, with a certain measure of freedom and adaptation. Our Lord Mark 10:19 and Paul Ephesians 6:2-3 deal similarly with the same subject. Speaker and hearers recognized, however, a statutory and authoritative form of the laws in question, which, because it was familiar to both parties, needed not to be reproduced with verbal fidelity.Deuteronomy... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Deuteronomy 5:12

Deuteronomy 5:12. Keep the sabbath day to sanctify it Dost thou do no work on this day, which can be done as well on another? Art thou peculiarly careful on this day to avoid all conversation which does not tend to the knowledge and love of God? Dost thou watch narrowly over all that are within thy gates, that they too may keep it holy? and dost thou try every possible means to bring all men, wherever thou art, to do the same? read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 5:1-33

4:44-11:32 BASIC REQUIREMENTS OF THE COVENANTIn the address just concluded, Moses outlined God’s dealings with Israel in the past, and on the basis of this urged Israel to be obedient in the future. He now called a second meeting, this time to ‘renew’ the covenant, not in the ceremonial sense but in the practical sense. That is, he reawakened the people to their responsibilities under the covenant. He recalled the events when the covenant was made at Sinai (4:44-5:5), he repeated the basic... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Deuteronomy 5:14-15

Ver. 14, 15. That thy man-servant and thy maid-servant may rest, as well as thou— Mercy towards men, as well as piety towards God, was, as we learn from this, one great reason for the institution of the sabbath. Here, Moses omits that reason for the institution which is mentioned Exodus 20:0.; namely, to be a memorial of the creation; and assigns another; namely, that servants and animals may enjoy rest, because this was also one principal design of the institution. For unless men had been... read more
