Leviticus 23:1 opens the Lord's speaking to Moses to give instruction concerning the appointed feasts and holy convocations. It stands as the introduction to that whole series of directions for sacred times. The verses immediately following it name the seventh-day Sabbath as a holy convocation. They define it as a day on which no work is to be done, and appoint it to be kept in all the dwellings of Israel.
