Leviticus 23:28 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 23:28

Ye shall do no work in that same day
No more than on the weekly sabbath:

for it is a day of atonement, to make atonement for you before the Lord
your God: (See Gill on Leviticus 16:30); Aben Ezra's note is,

``for you only,''

that is, for the Israelites, and not the Gentiles; but the atonement of Christ, the antitype of this, was not for the sins of the Jews only, but for the sins of the whole world, of all his people in it, ( 1 John 2:2 ) .

Leviticus 23:28 In-Context

26 The LORD said to Moses:

27 Note that the tenth day of this seventh month is the Day of Reconciliation. It will be a holy occasion for you. You must deny yourselves and offer a food gift to the LORD.

28 You must not do any work that day because it is a Day of Reconciliation to make reconciliation for you before the LORD your God.

29 Anyone who does not deny themselves on that day will be cut off from their people.

30 Moreover, I will destroy from their people anyone who does any work on that day.
