Num 28:2 Command the children of Israel, and say unto them, My offering, [and] my bread for my sacrifices made by fire, [for] a sweet savour unto me, shall ye observe to offer unto me in their due season.
Ver. 2. My offering. ] He is owner of all; and of his own we give him. Tα σα εκ των σων , said that great emperor.
And my bread. ] Called their bread for their souls; that is, the bread for their natural sustenance, common bread, when not rightly offered. So Jeremiah 7:21 . God in scorn calls their sacrifice flesh, ordinary flesh, such as is sold in the shambles. So at the Lord’s Supper impenitent communicants receive no more than the bare elements; panem Domini, but not panem Dominum. a
In their due season. ] Which for eight and thirty years they had intermitted. Get a settlement, or Sabbath of spirit, or else God shall be but ill, if at all, served.

Ver. 9. And on the Sabbath day. ] Every day should be a Sabbath to the saints, in regard of ceasing to do evil, learning to do well; but on the seventh day Sabbath our devotion should be doubled. Debet totus dies festivus a Christiano expendi in operibus sanctis, said Robert Grosthead, Bishop of Lincoln, long since. a The whole Sabbath should be spent in God’s service. Psalms 92:1 , titled, A Psalm for the Sabbath, mentions morning and evening performances. Psa 92:2 Variety of duties may very well take up the whole day with delight. Besides, God gives us six whole days. Now, to sell by one measure and buy by another, is the way to a curse.
