EXO 16:23¶
======================================================================

======================================================================
"And he said unto them, This [is that] which the LORD hath said, To morrow [is] the rest of the holy sabbath unto the LORD: bake [that] which ye will bake [to day], and seethe that ye will seethe; and that which remaineth over lay up for you to be kept until the morning."
Book: Exodus | Chapter: 16 | Author: Moses
----------------------------------------------------------------------
CONCEPTS IN THIS VERSE:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
TEMPLE: Heykal/naos - temple, sanctuary
Strong's: H6944 (of the holy)
HOLY: Qadosh/hagios - set apart, sacred
Strong's: H6944 (of the holy)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
SAME BOOK (Exodus) (74 verses)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Exodus 12:16 [HOLY]
"And in the first day [there shall be] an holy convocation, and in the seventh day there shall be an holy convocation to you; no manner of work shall be done in them, save [that] which every man must eat, that only may be done of you."
2. Exodus 13:2 [HOLY]
"Sanctify unto me all the firstborn, whatsoever openeth the womb among the children of Israel, [both] of man and of beast: it [is] mine."
3. Exodus 15:11 [HOLY]
"Who [is] like unto thee, O LORD, among the gods? who [is] like thee, glorious in holiness, fearful [in] praises, doing wonders?"
4. Exodus 15:13 [HOLY]

Observation: The concept tool identified HOLY (qadosh/H6944) as the key concept in the manna-Sabbath verse. The Sabbath is explicitly called "the holy sabbath" in Exo 16:23, linking it to the qadosh concept -- the same word used in Gen 2:3 where God "sanctified" (qadash) the seventh day.
LUK 23:56¶
======================================================================
CONCEPT CONTEXT: Luke 23:56
======================================================================
"And they returned, and prepared spices and ointments; and rested the sabbath day according to the commandment."
Book: Luke | Chapter: 23 | Author: Luke
----------------------------------------------------------------------
CONCEPTS IN THIS VERSE:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
LAW: Torah, commandments, statutes, ordinances
Strong's: G1785 (commandment)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
SAME BOOK (Luke) (13 verses)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Luke 1:6 [LAW]
"And they were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless."
2. Luke 10:26 [LAW]
"He said unto him, What is written in the law? how readest thou?"
3. Luke 15:29 [LAW]
"And he answering said to [his] father, Lo, these many years do I serve thee, neither transgressed I at any time thy commandment..."
4. Luke 16:17 [LAW]
"And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one tittle of the law to fail."
5. Luke 18:20 [LAW]
"Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Honour thy father and thy mother."
----------------------------------------------------------------------
SAME AUTHOR (Luke) (22 verses)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Acts 13:15 [LAW]
"And after the reading of the law and the prophets the rulers of the synagogue sent unto them..."
2. Acts 13:39 [LAW]
"And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses."
3. Acts 15:24 [LAW]
"...saying, [Ye must] be circumcised, and keep the law: to whom we gave no [such] commandment:"
4. Acts 15:5 [LAW]
"...saying, That it was needful to circumcise them, and to command [them] to keep the law of Moses."
5. Acts 16:4 [LAW]
"And as they went through the cities, they delivered them the decrees for to keep..."
[Additional verses returned from same author and other books]
Observation: The concept tool identified LAW (entole/G1785) as the key concept. Luke says the women rested "according to the commandment" (kata ten entolen) -- linking their Sabbath rest to the Fourth Commandment (Exo 20:8-11). This proves: (1) the women knew which day was the Sabbath, (2) they considered the commandment operative, and (3) Luke affirms their Sabbath observance was correct and according to divine law.
NEH 13:15¶
======================================================================
CONCEPT CONTEXT: Nehemiah 13:15
======================================================================
"In those days saw I in Judah [some] treading wine presses on the sabbath, and bringing in sheaves, and lading asses; as also wine, grapes, and figs, and all [manner of] burdens, which they brought into Jerusalem on the sabbath day: and I testified [against them] in the day wherein they sold victuals."
Book: Nehemiah | Chapter: 13 | Author: Historical
----------------------------------------------------------------------
CONCEPTS IN THIS VERSE:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
PROPHET: Nabi/prophetes - spokesman, prophet
Strong's: H7200 (saw I)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
SAME CHAPTER (Nehemiah 13) (1 verses)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Nehemiah 13:23 [PROPHET]
"In those days also saw I Jews [that] had married wives of Ashdod, of Ammon, [and] of Moab:"
----------------------------------------------------------------------
SAME BOOK (Nehemiah) (10 verses)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Nehemiah 2:17 [PROPHET]
"Then said I unto them, Ye see the distress that we [are] in..."
2. Nehemiah 4:14 [PROPHET]
"And I looked, and rose up, and said unto the nobles..."
3. Nehemiah 6:14 [PROPHET]
"My God, think thou upon Tobiah and Sanballat...and on the prophetess Noadiah..."
4. Nehemiah 9:26 [PROPHET]
"...and slew thy prophets which testified against them..."
5. Nehemiah 9:30 [PROPHET]
"...and testifiedst against them by thy spirit in thy prophets..."
[Additional verses returned from same book, same author, and other books]
Observation: The concept tool identified PROPHET (nabi/H7200 "saw") as the concept. Nehemiah acts in a prophetic role, testifying against Sabbath violation after the Babylonian captivity. The key finding for calendar continuity: Nehemiah SAW the Sabbath being violated -- he KNEW which day was the Sabbath, post-exile. The concept connections to other Nehemiah "seeing" passages (13:23, 2:17, 4:14) reinforce his role as a reformer who identified and corrected violations.
MRK 15:42¶
Note: The concept_context.py tool found no mapped theological concepts for this verse. The verse's significance for this study lies in its explicit naming of two day-names (paraskeue and prosabbaton), which are covered in the word studies (04-word-studies.md).
ACT 13:14¶
Note: The concept_context.py tool found no mapped theological concepts for this verse. The verse's significance is Paul's Sabbath synagogue attendance, which is covered through the cross-testament parallels (linking to LUK 4:16, MRK 1:21, etc.).
