Commentary
Gill's Exposition
Wherefore the children of Israel shall keep the sabbath,.... On whom the sabbath of the seventh day was only enjoined, as well as that of the seventh and of the
fiftieth years, being all ceremonial and shadowy: to observe the sabbath throughout their generations; so long as the Mosaic dispensation lasted, and their civil polity and church state continued, even until the Messiah came, when all those Jewish shadows, rites, and ceremonies, fled away and disappeared: for a perpetual covenant; just in the same sense as circumcision was, Gen 17:13 .
