Whereby he showed himself to be their covenant God and Father, who had a kind and gracious regard unto them, and which laid them under obligation to fear, serve, and worship him as their God: I [am] the Lord; that hath sovereign right unto them, and claim upon them, and therefore they ought to be subject to his will, and observe his laws ordinances. John Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible. Leviticus 23:1 INTRODUCTION TO LEVITICUS 23 In this chapter an account is given of the several holy days, times, and seasons, appointed by God, under the general names of feasts and holy convocations; and first of the sabbath, Leviticus 23:1; then of the passover and feast of unleavened bread, Leviticus 23:5; to which is annexed the sheaf of the firstfruits, Leviticus 23:9; after that of the feast of weeks or pentecost, Leviticus 23:15; and of the feast of trumpets, Leviticus 23:23; and of the day of atonement, Leviticus 23:26; and of the feast of tabernacles, Leviticus 23:33.

22:1-33 Laws concerning the priests and sacrifices. - In this chapter we have divers laws concerning the priests and sacrifices, all for preserving the honour of the sanctuary. Let us recollect with gratitude that our great High Priest cannot be hindered by any thing from the discharge of his office. Let us also remember, that the Lord requires us to reverence his name, his truths, his ordinances, and commandments. Let us beware of hypocrisy, and examine ourselves concerning our sinful defilements, seeking to be purified from them in the blood of Christ, and by his sanctifying Spirit. Whoever attempts to expiate his own sin, or draws near in the pride of self-righteousness, puts as great an affront on Christ, as he who comes to the Lord's table from the gratification of sinful lusts. Nor can the minister who loves the souls of the people, suffer them to continue in this dangerous delusion. He must call upon them, not only to repent of their sins, and forsake them; but to put their whole trust in the atonement of Christ, by faith in his name, for pardon and acceptance with God; thus only will the Lord make them holy, as his own people.

Whereby he showed himself to be their covenant God and Father, who had a kind and gracious regard unto them, and which laid them under obligation to fear, serve, and worship him as their God: I am the Lord; that hath sovereign right unto them, and claim upon them, and therefore they ought to be subject to his will, and observe his laws ordinances.

27, 28. it shall be seven days under the dam—Animals were not considered perfect nor good for food till the eighth day. As sacrifices are called the bread or food of God (Le 22:25), to offer them immediately after birth, when they were unfit to be eaten, would have indicated a contempt of religion; and besides, this prohibition, as well as that contained in Le 22:28, inculcated a lesson of humanity or tenderness to the dam, as well as secured the sacrifices from all appearance of unfeeling cruelty.

7 . and I will take you to me for a people ] to be owned by Me, and enjoy My protection. The thought , as Exodus 19:5 (J), Deu Exo 26:18; cf. also Deuteronomy 29:13 . The common expression is ‘and ye ( or they) shall be to me a people,’ Jeremiah 7:23 , Ezekiel 11:20 (and often in Jer. Ez.); Zech. 2:15, 8:8; Leviticus 26:12 (H). and I will be to you a God ] to be revered by you, and also to be your all-powerful leader, protector, and benefactor.

Sentences of the type, ‘and ye (they, thou) shall know (viz. by some signal and impressive manifestation of power) that I am Yahweh,’ are extremely common in Ezek., a prophet who in other respects also displays many literary affinities with P, as Exodus 6:7 ; Exodus 6:10 ; Exodus 6:13-14 , Exodus 7:4 ; Exodus 7:9 , &c. (more than 50 times altogether): comp. LOT. p. 266 f. (ed. 6–8, p. 295).
