Nehemiah 9:14 Meaning and Commentary

Nehemiah 9:14

And madest known unto them thy holy sabbath
Which was not made known to others, and was peculiar to the Jewish nation, and a privilege granted to them, to have rest corporeal and spiritual, typical of the rest in Christ:

and commandedst them precepts, statutes, and laws, by the hand of Moses
thy servant;
moral, ceremonial, and judicial, such as other nations had not, ( Deuteronomy 4:8 ) .
