Lev. 23:2,37• 2Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, Concerning the set feasts of Jehovah, which ye shall proclaim as holy convocations--these are my set feasts.
 37These are the set feasts of Jehovah, which ye shall proclaim as holy convocations, to present an offering by fire to Jehovah, a burnt-offering, and an oblation, a sacrifice, and drink-offerings, everything upon its day; (Lev. 23:2,37)
;
Ex. 23:14• 14Thrice in the year thou shalt celebrate a feast to me. (Ex. 23:14)
• The solemn feasts were, then, the gathering of God’s people around Him, and in detail the ways of God in gathering them thus. (“Leviticus 23” by J.N. Darby)
• The Sabbath is introduced first as the beginning of the feasts; and then, secondly, we begin again, when the sabbath is left out. Why? Because the sabbath has a character altogether peculiar to itself. Evidently as a matter of fact, and merely looking at it from a literal point of view, all the other feasts were celebrated but once a year, the sabbath every week. There is therefore a distinct line of demarcation; and so the second beginning is justified. But still the sabbath has the character of a feast, and with a most important aim, if in a way that marks no other; for this feast, and this alone, was to be continually repeated, as the end of the week came round. (“Day 151 - Luke 11, Verses 27-53” by N. Berry)
• What is it that God means to bring in? A rest for His own, a rest worthy of Himself, and a rest which He will share with His people. When will this be? Not till the end of all things. (“The Feasts of Jehovah: the Sabbath” by W. Kelly)
