Jeremias 17:20 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 17:20

And say unto them, hear ye the word of the Lord
Concerning the sanctification of the sabbath; for this was not of human, but of divine institution:

ye kings of Judah;
which must be understood either, as Kimchi thinks, of the then present king and his sons, so called because they would reign after him; for, there was but one king at a time; and who, perhaps, at this time, was Josiah: or else the king and his nobles, the princes of the land, are meant:

and all Judah and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, that enter in by
these gates;
the people in the several parts of the land of Judea, that came to Jerusalem either for trade and merchandise, or for worship, and all that dwelt in the metropolis; for the business the prophet had to charge them with concerned them all.

Jeremias 17:20 In-Context

18 Envergonhem-se os que me perseguem, mas não me envergonhe eu; assombrem-se eles, mas não me assombre eu; traze sobre eles o dia da calamidade, e destrói-os com dobrada destruição.

19 Assim me disse o Senhor: Vai, e põe-te na porta de Benjamim, pela qual entram os reis de Judá, e pela qual saem, como também em todas as portas de Jerusalém.

20 E dize-lhes: Ouvi a palavra do Senhor, vós, reis de Judá e todo o Judá, e todos os moradores de Jerusalém, que entrais por estas portas;

21 assim diz o Senhor: Guardai-vos a vós mesmos, e não tragais cargas no dia de sábado, nem as introduzais pelas portas de Jerusalém;

22 nem tireis cargas de vossas casas no dia de sábado, nem façais trabalho algum; antes santificai o dia de sábado, como eu ordenei a vossos pais.
