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 Lorde spake vnto Moses sayenge:

27 also the tenth daye of the selfe seueth moneth, is a daye of an attonement, and shalbe on holy feast vnto you, ad ye shall humble youre soules and offer sacrifice vnto the Lorde.

28 Moreouer ye shall do no worke the same daye, for it is a daye of attonement to make an attonemet for you before the Lord your God.

29 For what soeuer soule it be that humbleth not him selfe that daye, he shalbe destroyde from amonge his people.

30 And what soeuer soule do any maner worke that daye, the same I will destroye from amonge his people.
