Lev. 23:2,37• 2Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, Concerning the feasts of the Lord, which ye shall proclaim to be holy convocations, even these are my feasts.
 37These are the feasts of the Lord, which ye shall proclaim to be holy convocations, to offer an offering made by fire unto the Lord, a burnt offering, and a meat offering, a sacrifice, and drink offerings, every thing upon his day: (Lev. 23:2,37)
;
Ex. 23:14• 14Three times thou shalt keep a feast unto me in the year. (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)
