Jeremías 17:22 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 17:22

Neither carry forth a burden out of your houses on the
sabbath day
Not of dirt and soil only, as some restrain the sense; but of any ware or merchandise, in order to be sold in the city or elsewhere: neither do ye any work;
any servile work, any kind of manufacture, either within doors or without; or exercise any kind of trade, or barter and merchandise, or do any sort of worldly business; nothing but what was of mere necessity, for the preservation of life; see ( Exodus 20:10 ) ; but hallow ye the sabbath day;
or, "sanctify it" F2; by separating it from all worldly business, and devoting it to the worship of God in public and private, spending it wholly in acts of religion and piety: as I commanded your fathers;
not Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; but those that came out of Egypt, to whom, and to their posterity after them, this commandment was enjoined, ( Exodus 20:8-10 ) ( 31:13-17 ) ; so that this was not a novel injunction, but what was commanded from the beginning of their civil and church state; from the time of their coming out of Egypt, and becoming a separate people and nation, under a theocracy, or the government of God himself; being chosen and set apart to be a special, peculiar, and holy people to himself, of which the sanctification of the sabbath was a sign; and was to be observed unto the Messiah's coming, the sum and substance of it, ( Colossians 2:16 Colossians 2:17 ) .

21 "Así dice el SEÑOR: 'Guardaos, por vuestra vida, de llevar carga en día de reposo, y de meterla por las puertas de Jerusalén.
22 'Tampoco saquéis carga de vuestras casas en día de reposo, ni hagáis trabajo alguno, sino santificad el día de reposo, como mandé a vuestros padres.
23 'Sin embargo, ellos no escucharon ni inclinaron sus oĂ­dos, sino que endurecieron su cerviz para no oĂ­r ni recibir correcciĂłn.
24 'Pero sucederá que si me escucháis con atención declara el SEÑORno metiendo carga por las puertas de esta ciudad en día de reposo, y santificáis el día de reposo, sin hacer en él trabajo alguno,
