Context — The Feast of Tabernacles
31You are not to do any work at all. This is a permanent statute for the generations to come, wherever you live.
32It will be a Sabbath of complete rest for you, and you shall humble yourselves. From the evening of the ninth day of the month until the following evening you are to keep your Sabbath.”
33And the LORD said to Moses,
34“Speak to the Israelites and say, ‘On the fifteenth day of the seventh month the Feast of Tabernacles to the LORD begins, and it continues for seven days. 35On the first day there shall be a sacred assembly. You must not do any regular work.Leviticus 23:33 Summary
In Leviticus 23:33, the Lord speaks to Moses again to give more instructions to the Israelites. This shows that God is always guiding and directing His people, as seen in Psalm 32:8-11, where it is written that God will instruct us and teach us in the way we should go. The Lord's direct communication with Moses emphasizes the importance of listening to and following God's guidance in our own lives, as we are called to trust in Him and obey His commands, as stated in John 14:15. By doing so, we can experience God's presence and provision, and live a life that honors Him, as seen in Matthew 22:37-40, where Jesus teaches us to love God with all our heart, soul, and mind.
