Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Leviticus 23:3

_ _ Six days shall work be done: but the seventh day is the sabbath of rest — (See on Exodus 20:8). The Sabbath has the precedence given to it, and it was to be “a holy convocation,” observed by families “in their dwellings”; where practicable, by the people repairing to the door of the tabernacle; at later periods, by meeting in the schools of the prophets, and in synagogues.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Leviticus 23:1-3.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Leviticus 23:3

Ye shall do no work therein — So it runs in the general for the sabbath day, and for the day of expiation, Leviticus 23:28, excluding all works about earthly employments whether of profit or of pleasure; but upon other feast days he forbids only servile works, as Leviticus 23:7, Leviticus 23:21, Leviticus 23:36, for surely this manifest difference in the expressions used by the wife God must needs imply a difference in the things. In all your dwellings — Other feasts, were to be kept before the Lord in Jerusalem only, whither all the males were to come for that end; but the sabbath was to be kept in all places, both in synagogues, and in their private houses.
