The Sabbath is a Gift
Commentators emphasize that God presents the Sabbath not as a burden, but as a gracious gift. He provides a double portion of manna on the sixth day to prove that rest is possible and that, as one scholar notes, 'no one will ever be a loser by serving God.' The provision enables the rest, showing God's practical care for His people.
