The Bible has some interesting specifics in the Mosaic Code when it comes to food and days. Passover was not meant to be “fast food” – it was required to stay in the house. This passage seems inapplicable at first glance in the New Testament – but when we read Paul’s teaching on the Lord’s Supper, we see an “echo” of the command: “Tarry one for another.”
We’ll see a few chapters ahead the origin of the Sabbath day’s journey as God appears to restrict geographic movement.
