Many times the feast days would fall on a Sabbath. The chapter begins discussing the feasts of the Lord, and the Sabbath is discussed because often Sabbath would fall on a feast day. This is the only place where instruction for the Sabbath is discussed with the word "holy convocation". Holy convocation generally meant feast day, and often times Sabbath would fall on a feast day, and so this passage is just outlining how to celebrate the Sabbath if it fell on a feast day. |
It is not outlining how the sabbath should be kept "if it fell on a feast day". Not trying to be rude but that's really a lame response. Seriously. Again, nothing personal and I don't mean to offend or anything but for real? You're gonna go with that?
It doesn't say what you say. No "if" in the text there. It says THESE ARE THE FEASTS OF THE LORD and then outlines them, starting with the weekly sabbath. Of that weekly sabbath says it says it is a holy convocation. No, nothing about "going to the tabernacle/temple" but that's irrelevent because the tabernacle/temple was not equivalent to a "church assembly" anyway.
It is what is, a holy convocation.
