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 "'Then I addressed myself to their children in the desert: "Don't do what your parents did. Don't take up their practices. Don't make yourselves filthy with their no-god idols.

19 I myself am God, your God: Keep my statutes and live by my laws.

20 Keep my Sabbaths as holy rest days, signposts between me and you, signaling that I am God, your God."

21 "'But the children also rebelled against me. They neither followed my statutes nor kept my laws for living upright and well. And they desecrated my Sabbaths. I seriously considered dumping my anger on them, right there in the desert.

22 But I thought better of it and acted out of who I was, not by what I felt, so that I might be honored and not blasphemed by the nations who had seen me bring them out.
