"The Biblical Sabbath."

By Editor

UNDER this head we find quoted into the columns of The Israelite of Dec. 28, 1855, that portion of our article on the "Fourth Commandment and Sunday-keepers," which appeared in REVIEW No. 11, to which its Editor appended the following remarks:
"We request the Editor of the Advent Review to inform the Rev. Dr. Plumer, that he also makes these mistakes: There is another Jewish festival called not only the Sabbath, but even the Sabbath of Sabbaths, [Lev. xvi, 31,] or according to the Hebrew idiom Sabbath or rest in the superlative degree, as the Day of Atonement is called. 2. Any one that understands Hebrew and whose mind is unprejudiced, must say, that the Bible refers to a certain fixed day; for if referring to any seventh day, the text must read, 'Remember the Seventh day to keep it holy,' and even the term Remember* can be applied only to a fixed day. Leviticus xxv, where the seventh year is pointed out as a Sabbath year without reference to a particular year, it says clear enough, 'And in the seventh year shall be a Sabbath,' &c.—Ed. Is."
