Exodus 16:29

Exo 16:29 See, for that the LORD hath given you the sabbath, therefore he giveth you on the sixth day the bread of two days; abide ye every man in his place, let no man go out of his place on the seventh day.

Ver. 29. Hath given you the Sabbath. ] And a great gift is was. Neh 9:14 Were it not for the weekly Sabbath we should all run wild.

Abide ye every man in his place. ] Sabbath, coming from Shabath, to cease or rest, hath some affinity with Jashabh, to sit still, and with Shabach, to worship and give praise; to show that this rest must be sanctified: for else it is but asinorum sabbatum, as one saith, the Sabbath of the ox and ass; for these also must rest.
