Ezekiel 20:20 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 20:20

And hallow my sabbaths
Or keep them holy, by abstaining from worldly business on them; by observing all the duties of religion, private and public, to be performed on such days: and they shall be a sign between me and you;
of present and future good; (See Gill on Ezekiel 20:12); that ye may know that I [am] the Lord your God;
not only acknowledge him to be the Lord their God, by observing his laws, and sanctifying his sabbaths; but also have a larger experience of his grace and goodness, as their covenant God.

Ezekiel 20:20 In-Context

18 I said to their children in the wilderness, Don't you walk in the statutes of your fathers, neither observe their ordinances, nor defile yourselves with their idols.

19 I am the LORD your God: walk in my statutes, and keep my ordinances, and do them;

20 and make my Shabbatot holy; and they shall be a sign between me and you, that you may know that I am the LORD your God.

21 But the children rebelled against me; they didn't walk in my statutes, neither kept my ordinances to do them, which if a man do, he shall live in them; they profaned my Shabbatot. Then I said I would pour out my wrath on them, to accomplish my anger against them in the wilderness.

22 Nevertheless I withdrew my hand, and worked for my name's sake, that it should not be profaned in the sight of the nations, in whose sight I brought them forth.
