32 It [is] a sabbath of rest to you, and ye have humbled yourselves in the ninth of the month at even; from evening till evening ye do keep your sabbath.'


Commentary on this verse  

By Henry MacLagan

Verse 32. And in this state there is a foretaste of heavenly rest and peace, and the sincere acknowledgement that man of himself is nothing but evil; and this is effected when the conjunction of faith with charity is about to take place in the obscurity arising out of a change from a former state to a new state; for states of obscurity must precede states of rest and peace in the Lord.
