Isaiah 58:13-14
Amplified Bible
Keeping the Sabbath
13
“If you turn back your foot from [[a]unnecessary travel on] the Sabbath,
From doing your own pleasure on My holy day,
And call the Sabbath a [spiritual] delight, and the holy day of the Lord honorable,
And honor it, not going your own way
Or [b]engaging in your own pleasure
Or speaking your own [idle] words,
14
Then you will take pleasure in the Lord,
And I will make you ride on the high places of the earth,
And I will feed you with the [promised] heritage of Jacob your father;
For the mouth of the Lord has spoken.”(A)
Notas al pie
- Isaiah 58:13 The ancient rabbis established strict limits for travel on the Sabbath, excepting unintentional violations and religious errands. This verse became a rabbinic proof text to rule on whether a person who had put one foot beyond the Sabbath limit for his city could reenter the city. But the Hebrew text may not refer to travel at all; turn back your foot from the Sabbath can be interpreted as an idiom referring to keeping oneself from violating the Sabbath in other ways.
- Isaiah 58:13 Lit finding.

Keeping the Sabbath
13 “If, because of the Sabbath, you (A)restrain your foot
From doing as you wish on My holy day,
And call the Sabbath a (B)pleasure, and the holy day of the Lord honorable,
And honor it, desisting from your (C)own ways,
From seeking your own pleasure
And (D)speaking your own word,
14 Then you will take (E)delight in the Lord,
And I will make you ride (F)on the heights of the earth;
And I will feed you with the heritage of Jacob your father,
For the (G)mouth of the Lord has spoken.”
