Jeremias 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 ) .

Jeremias 17:22 In-Context

20 Diga-lhes: Ouçam a palavra do SENHOR, reis de Judá, todo o Judá e todos os habitantes de Jerusalém, vocês que passam por estas portas”.

21 Assim diz o SENHOR: “Por amor à vida de vocês, tenham o cuidado de não levar cargas nem de fazê-las passar pelas portas de Jerusalém no dia de sábado.

22 Não levem carga alguma para fora de casa nem façam nenhum trabalho no sábado, mas guardem o dia de sábado como dia consagrado, como ordenei aos seus antepassados.

23 Contudo, eles não me ouviram nem me deram atenção; foram obstinados e não quiseram ouvir nem aceitar a disciplina.

24 Mas, se vocês tiverem o cuidado de obedecer-me”, diz o SENHOR, “e não fizerem passar carga alguma pelas portas desta cidade no sábado, mas guardarem o dia de sábado como dia consagrado, deixando de realizar nele todo e qualquer trabalho,
