"The weekly Sabbath was a stepping-stone leading up to the other
sabbatic institutions; and besides being a memorial of creation, (For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it. Exodus 20:11) it pointed forward to the final rest of the Jubilee. (And remember that thou wast a servant in the land of Egypt, and that the LORD thy God brought thee out thence through a mighty hand and by a stretched out arm: therefore the LORD thy God commanded thee to keep the sabbath day. Deuteronomy 5:15)"
