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 "`But I said unto their children in the wilderness: "Walk ye not in the statutes of your fathers, neither observe their judgments, nor defile yourselves with their idols.

19 I am the LORD your God: Walk in My statutes, and keep My judgments, and do them;

20 and hallow My Sabbaths, and they shall be a sign between Me and you, that ye may know that I am the LORD your God."

21 Notwithstanding, the children rebelled against Me. They walked not in My statutes, neither kept My judgments to do them, which if a man do, he shall even live in them; they polluted My Sabbaths. "`Then I said I would pour out My fury upon them to accomplish My anger against them in the wilderness.

22 Nevertheless I withdrew Mine hand and wrought for My name's sake, that it should not be polluted in the sight of the heathen, in whose sight I brought them forth.
