SEV Biblia, Chapter 16:29
Mirad que el SEÑOR os dio el sábado, y por eso os da en el sexto día pan para dos días. Estése, pues, cada uno en su casa, y nadie salga de su lugar en el séptimo día.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Exodus 16:29
Verse 29. Abide ye every man in his place] Neither go out to seek manna nor for any other purpose; rest at home and devote your time to religious exercises. Several of the Jews understood by place in the text, the camp, and have generally supposed that no man should go out of the place, i.e., the city, town, or village in which he resides, any farther than one thousand cubits, about an English mile, which also is called a Sabbath day's journey, Acts i. 12; and so many cubits they consider the space round the city that constitutes its suburbs, which they draw from Num. xxxv. 3, 4. Some of the Jews have carried the rigorous observance of the letter of this law to such a length, that in whatever posture they find themselves on the Sabbath morning when they awake, they continue in the same during the day; or should they be up and happen to fall, they refuse even to rise till the Sabbath be ended! Mr. Stapleton tells a story of one Rabbi Solomon, who fell into a slough on the Jewish Sabbath, Saturday, and refused to be pulled out, giving his reason in the following Leonine couplet:- Sabbatha sancta colo De stereore surgere nolo. "Out of this slough I will not rise For holy Sabbath day I prize." The Christians, finding him thus disposed determined he should honour their Sabbath in the same place, and actually kept the poor man in the slough all Sunday, giving their reasons in nearly the same way:- Sabbatha nostra quidem, Solomon, celebrabis ibidem.
"In the same slough, thou stubborn Jew, Our Sabbath day thou shalt spend too." This might have served to convince him of his folly, but certainly was not the likeliest way to convert him to Christianity.
FABYAN, in his Chronicles, tells the following story of a case of this kind.
"In this yere also (1259) fell that happe of the Iewe of Tewkysbury, which fell into a gonge upon the Satyrday, and wolde not for reverence of his sabbot day be pluckyd out; whereof heryng the Erle of Gloucetyr, that the Iewe dyd so great reverence to his sabbot daye, thought he wolde doo as moche unto his holy day, which was Sonday, and so kepte hym there tyll Monday, at whiche season he was foundyn dede." Then the earl of Gloucester murdered the poor man.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 22-31 - Here is mention of a seventh-day sabbath. It was known, not only befor the giving of the law upon mount Sinai, but before the bringing of Israel out of Egypt, even from the beginning, Ge 2:3. The setting apar one day in seven for holy work, and, in order to that, for holy rest was ever since God created man upon the earth, and is the most ancien of the Divine laws. Appointing them to rest on the seventh day, he too care that they should be no losers by it; and none ever will be loser by serving God. On that day they were to fetch in enough for two days and to make it ready. This directs us to contrive family affairs, s that they may hinder us as little as possible in the work of the sabbath. Works of necessity are to be done on that day; but it is desirable to have as little as may be to do, that we may appl ourselves the more closely to prepare for the life that is to come When they kept manna against a command, it stank; when they kept it be a command, it was sweet and good; every thing is sanctified by the wor of God and prayer. On the seventh day God did not send the manna therefore they must not expect it, nor go out to gather. This showe that it was produced by miracle.
