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 And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,

27 But the tenth day of this seventh month shall be the day of reconciliations; it shall be a holy convocation unto you; and ye shall afflict your souls and offer an offering made on fire unto the LORD.

28 And ye shall do no work in this same day; for it is a day of reconciliations, to reconcile you before the LORD your God.

29 For every person that shall not afflict themselves in that same day, shall be cut off from among his people.

30 And any person that does any work in that same day, the same person will I destroy from among his people.
