Contextual Overview

30 My sabbaths, shall ye observe, And my sanctuary, shall ye revere, - I, am Yahweh. 31 Do not turn unto mediums, Nor, for oracles, make search, To render yourselves unclean with them, I - Yahweh, am your God. 32 Before a hoary head, shalt thou rise up, And shalt honour the presence of an elder, - So shalt thou stand in awe of thy God - I, am Yahweh. 33 And, when there sojourneth with thee a sojourner in your land, ye shall not oppress him: 34 As one home born from among yourselves, shall be unto you the sojourner who sojourneth with you, So shalt thou love him as thyself, For, sojourners, became ye, in the land of Egypt, - I - Yahweh, am your God. 35 Ye shall not act perversely in giving judgment, - in measures of extent, in weights in measures of capacity: 36 Just balances, just weights, a just ephah and a just hin, shall ye have, - I - Yahweh, am your God, who brought you forth out of the land of Egypt. 37 Therefore shall ye observe all my statutes and all my regulations and do them, - I, am Yahweh.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Ye shall keep my sabbaths,.... By attending to the worship and service of God on sabbath days, they and their children would be preserved from the idolatry of the Gentiles, and all the filthy practices attending it:

and reverence my sanctuary; and not defile it by such impurities as were committed in the temples of idols: the sanctuary being an holy place, sacred to him whose name is holy and reverend, and where was the seat of his glorious Majesty, and therefore not to be defiled by fornication or idolatry, or by doing anything in it unseemly and unbecoming, :-:

I [am] the Lord; who had appointed the observance of the sabbath day, and dwelt in the sanctuary, and therefore expected that the one would be kept and the other reverenced, and neither of them polluted.
