Exodus23:12
12 Six dayes thou shalt do thy work, and on the seventh day thou shalt rest : that thine oxe and thy ass may rest, and the son of thine handmaid, and the stranger may be refreshed.
This command is here repeated, lest any should think the weekly rest might cease when the whole year was consecrated to rest. There were three sorts of Sabbaths to the Jews, 1. of days. 2. of years, to wit, the seventh year. 3. of weeks of years, to wit the Jubilee, and all these are types of the eternal rest in heaven.
