Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Exodus 23:10-13
These verses contain a precept, in which there is much signification. The seventh year, like the seventh day of the week, was sacred, and therefore was to be a sabbath of rest.

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Exodus 23:14-17
Those seasons were - in the spring, summer, and autumn, namely, the feast of the Passover, that of Pentecost, and that of Tabernacles.

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Exodus 23:19
Sweet presentation to the Lord as much as to say, Lord, it is all thine, and of thine own do I offer thee. - Perhaps this precept of not seething a kid in its mother's milk was added to prevent that heathenish custom, which, it is said some nations observed, who, at their harvest feast, performed this cruel and superstitious deed, by way of being lucky, as they called it, in the next year's harvest. I stop the Reader to ask , whether the idle and sinful practice, among some of our countrymen,... read more

Reader! call to mind at the reading of this verse, what Jesus said, Moses wrote of me; an d then determine for yourself, whether this were not he of whom Moses and the Prophets did write, Jesus of Nazareth! See Malachi 3:1 ; Isa 63:9 ; 1 Corinthians 10:4 , etc. read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Exodus 23:1
CONTENTS This Chapter, like the two before it, contains an explanation in detail of the law given on Mount Sinai. The precepts against false witness, and false judgment, are enlarged upon: those relating to the regulation of conduct towards enemies and strangers are explained. Some observations, in respect to the observance of the Sabbath, are also added; and the renewal of God's promises to be with his people through the wilderness, and conduct them safe to Canaan, are subjoined. Exodus 23:1 1... read more
