Counter-Arguments

The strongest case that this verse does not belong in this theme.

Sabbath at Creation

The verse describes a holy convocation and feast on the fifteenth day of the seventh month, which is a specific annual festival (the Feast of Tabernacles), not the weekly Sabbath. It does not mention creation or God resting on the seventh day.

Seventh-Day Sabbath

The verse refers to the "fifteenth day of the seventh month" and a seven-day feast, not specifically the seventh day of the week as a Sabbath or rest day.

Sabbath Commandment

This verse describes a specific annual feast day ("the fifteenth day of the seventh month") and its associated regulations, not the weekly Sabbath commandment. While it mentions "no servile work," this is a characteristic shared by several holy days and does not specifically identify it as the weekly Sabbath.

First Day of the Week

The verse explicitly mentions the "fifteenth day of the seventh month" and a feast lasting "seven days," but it does not contain any reference to the "first day of the week."
