Neh. 13:15,21• 15In those days I saw in Judah some treading winepresses on the sabbath, and bringing in sheaves, and lading them on asses; as also wine, grapes and figs, and all manner of burdens; and they brought them into Jerusalem on the sabbath day; and I protested in the day on which they sold the victuals.

 45Moreover of the children of them that dwell as sojourners with you, of them may ye buy, and of their family that is with you, which they beget in your land, and they shall be your possession.
 46And ye shall leave them as an inheritance to your children after you, to inherit them as a possession: these may ye make your bondmen for ever; but as for your brethren, the children of Israel, ye shall not rule over one another with rigour. (Lev. 25:44‑46)

(Neh. 5:5)
• With regard to the institution of the sabbath we must remember that it rests wholly upon the direct authority of the word of God. Other commandments set forth plain moral duties. Every man knows it to be morally wrong to kill or steal; but, as to the observance of the sabbath, no one could possibly recognize it as a duty had it not been distinctly appointed by divine authority...the sabbath is singled out and presented, with special prominence, as a precious link between Jehovah and Israel; a seal of His covenant with them; and a powerful test of their devotedness to Him. (“Deuteronomy 5” by C.H. Mackintosh)
• When we open the pages of the New Testament, we find the leaders and heads of the Jewish people continually at issue with our Lord Jesus Christ, in reference to the sabbath. Look, for example, at the opening verses of Luke 6....Those religious guides would rather let the disciples starve than have their sabbath interfered with. They would allow the man to carry his withered hand to the grave, rather than have him healed on their sabbath. Alas! alas! it was indeed their sabbath, and not God’s. His rest could never comport with hunger and withered hands. (“Deuteronomy 5” by C.H. Mackintosh)
• “Jesus saith unto him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk. And immediately the man was made whole, and took up his bed, and walked: and the same day was the sabbath.” Here we have man’s sabbath again. It certainly was not God’s sabbath. The miserable multitude gathered round the pool proved that God’s full rest had not yet come — that His glorious antitype of the sabbath had not yet dawned on this sin-stricken earth. When that bright day comes there will be no blind, halt, and withered folk thronging the porches of the pool of Bethesda. God’s sabbath and human misery are wholly incompatible. (“Deuteronomy 5” by C.H. Mackintosh)
