The next section deals with the vertical relationship while being mindful of what pleases God. v 10-11 is the harvest with the remains for the poor and the animals. This concept was reiterated by Boaz in the book of Ruth. The Sabbath was for everyone including the working animals. There is always a mindset of reminding them not to worship other gods and not coming to worship empty-handed. There is also 3 annual festivals to be observed - the feast of unleavened bread (Passover), of the Harvest, and Ingathering at the end of the year. The "no yeast" concept was emphasized as well as some specific rules regarding these festivals.
Decent day yesterday - got a slingbox so I can get rid of the MLB subscription. Also made a pasta concoction with mussels, broccoli, onions and mushrooms as well as ground turkey which was really good in tomato sauce over wheat pasta. That should last a few days. Other than that, restful evening. Really enjoying this snowless winter!
Praise for today: I will declare your name to my brothers; in the congregation I will praise you. Ps 22:22
