The Sabbath Before Sinai
Commentators highlight that this is the first mention of the Sabbath in Exodus, occurring before the Ten Commandments were given at Sinai. Scholars like Spurgeon and Henry see this as proof that the Sabbath is a foundational principle from creation, not just a part of the Mosaic Law. It was introduced here as a "solemn rest, a holy sabbath unto Jehovah," revealing its deep spiritual significance.
