Jeremías 17:22 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 17:22

Neither carry forth a burden out of your houses on the
sabbath day
Not of dirt and soil only, as some restrain the sense; but of any ware or merchandise, in order to be sold in the city or elsewhere: neither do ye any work;
any servile work, any kind of manufacture, either within doors or without; or exercise any kind of trade, or barter and merchandise, or do any sort of worldly business; nothing but what was of mere necessity, for the preservation of life; see ( Exodus 20:10 ) ; but hallow ye the sabbath day;
or, "sanctify it" ^F2; by separating it from all worldly business, and devoting it to the worship of God in public and private, spending it wholly in acts of religion and piety: as I commanded your fathers;
not Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; but those that came out of Egypt, to whom, and to their posterity after them, this commandment was enjoined, ( Exodus 20:8-10 ) ( 31:13-17 ) ; so that this was not a novel injunction, but what was commanded from the beginning of their civil and church state; from the time of their coming out of Egypt, and becoming a separate people and nation, under a theocracy, or the government of God himself; being chosen and set apart to be a special, peculiar, and holy people to himself, of which the sanctification of the sabbath was a sign; and was to be observed unto the Messiah's coming, the sum and substance of it, ( Colossians 2:16 Colossians 2:17 ) .

20 y diles: “¡Escuchen la palabra del SEÑOR, reyes de Judá, y toda la gente de Judá y todos los habitantes de Jerusalén que entran por estas puertas!

21 Así dice el SEÑOR: ‘Cuídense bien de no llevar ninguna carga en día sábado, y de no meterla por las puertas de Jerusalén.

22 Tampoco saquen ninguna carga de sus casas en día sábado, ni hagan ningún tipo de trabajo. Observen el reposo del sábado, tal como se lo ordené a sus antepasados.

23 Pero ellos no me prestaron atención ni me obedecieron, sino que se obstinaron y no quisieron escuchar ni recibir corrección.

24 »“‘Si de veras me obedecen —afirma el SEÑOR— y no meten ninguna carga por las puertas de esta ciudad en día sábado, sino que observan este día no haciendo ningún trabajo,
