Joshua 6:15 And it came to pass on the seventh day, that they rose early about the dawning of the day, and compassed the city after the same manner seven times: only on that day they compassed the city seven times.
We are seeing a definite pattern emerging, because ever so often, we are seeing the number 6 followed by the number 7, over and over again. We see six days, and then the 7th day, being repeated in that specific order and it’s occurring too many times for it to be a coincidence. Now, if the pattern had merely stopped with 6 and 7 days, we would safely conclude that yes, God wants us to remember the seventh day Sabbath, and that is a correct conclusion. However, the 6/7 pattern is also observed in years.
Exodus 21:2 If thou buy a Hebrew servant, six years he shall serve: and in the seventh he shall go out free for nothing… Exodus 23:10 And six years thou shalt sow thy land, and shalt gather in the fruits thereof. 11 But the seventh year thou shalt let it rest and lie still; that the poor of thy people may eat: and what they leave the beasts of the field shall eat. In like manner thou shalt deal with thy vineyard, and with thy olive yard.
Leviticus 25:2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When you come into the land which I give you, then shall the land keep a sabbath unto the Lord. 3 Six years thou shalt sow thy field, and six years thou shalt prune thy vineyard, and gather in the fruit thereof; 4 But in the seventh year shall be a sabbath of rest unto the land, a sabbath for the Lord: thou shalt neither sow thy field, nor prune thy vineyard.
Deuteronomy 15:12 And if thy brother, a Hebrew man, or a Hebrew woman, be sold unto thee, and serve thee six years; then in the seventh year thou shalt let him go free from thee.
May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
