Notes

Jeremiah 17:21–22

Trading on the Sabbath was wrong and needed to stop. The Sabbath was not for buying and selling. It was established in the Sinai covenant as a holy day (Exodus 29:8–11; 31:12–17). On this day, the people of Israel were to rest and honor the Lord.

Jeremiah 17:19–27

Driven by greed, the people of Jerusalem were disrespecting the Sabbath day (see Exodus 20:8–11; Deuteronomy 5:12–15). By observing the Sabbath, they would miss out on trade income. The Lord explained why they should keep the Sabbath holy.
