Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

See commentary on Jeremiah 17:19-27.


Jeremiah 17:21

_ _ Take heed to yourselves — literally, “to your souls.” Maurer explains, “as ye love your lives”; a phrase used here to give the greater weight to the command.

_ _ sabbath — The non-observance of it was a chief cause of the captivity, the number of years of the latter, seventy, being exactly made to agree with the number of Sabbaths which elapsed during the four hundred ninety years of their possession of Canaan from Saul to their removal (Leviticus 26:34, Leviticus 26:35; 2 Chronicles 36:21). On the restoration, therefore, stress was especially laid on Sabbath observance (Nehemiah 13:19).

_ _ Jerusalem — It would have been scandalous anywhere; but in the capital, Jerusalem, it was an open insult to God. Sabbath-hallowing is intended as a symbol of holiness in general (Ezekiel 20:12); therefore much stress is laid on it; the Jews’ gross impiety is manifested in their setting God’s will at naught, in the case of such an easy and positive command.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Jeremiah 17:21

Thus saith the LORD; Take heed to yourselves, and bear no burden on the (t) sabbath day, nor bring [it] in by the gates of Jerusalem;

(t) By naming the Sabbath day, he comprehends the thing that is signified by it, for if they transgressed in the ceremony, they must be guilty of the rest, read (Exodus 20:8) and by the breaking of this one commandment, he makes them transgressors of the whole law, as the first and second table are contained in it.
