Exodus 23:13 - Forerunner Commentary

Exodus 23:13

11 but the seventh year you shall let it rest and lie fallow, that the poor of your people may eat; and what they leave, the beasts of the field may eat. In like manner you shall do with your vineyard and your¹ olive grove.

12 ^aSix days you shall do your work, and on the seventh day you shall rest, that your ox and your donkey may rest, and the son of your female servant and the stranger may be refreshed.

13 “And in all that I have said to you, ^abe circumspect and ^bmake no mention of the name of other gods, nor let it be heard from your mouth.

Three Annual Feasts

14 ^a“Three times you shall keep a feast to Me in the year:

15 ^aYou shall keep the Feast of Unleavened Bread (you shall eat unleavened bread seven days, as I commanded you, at the time appointed in the month of Abib, for in it you came out of Egypt; ^bnone shall appear before Me empty);

16 ^aand ^bthe Feast of Harvest, the firstfruits of your labors which you have sown in the field; and the Feast of Ingathering at the end of the year, when you have gathered in the fruit of your labors from the field.
