Commentary on Nehemiah 9:14

Theological / Devotional

Thy holy sabbath. The words chosen here imply that the Sabbath had existed before the lawgiving, which agrees with Genesis 2:2, 3 and Exodus 16:23. That Nehemiah considered the Sabbath command one of extraordinary importance is seen from the fact that it is the only command of the Decalogue specifically mentioned. It is declared to have been bestowed as a benefit by God upon the Israelites, inasmuch as they were to share in the rest of God on that day.
