No Cooking

George Reynolds, Janne M. Sjodahl

See v. 2. The Mosaic law prohibited the making of fire on the Sabbath (Num. 15:32)

The Sabbath was instituted to be a sign between Jehovah and his people, in order that all the world might know that it is He who sanctifies his people, Israel. (See Ex. 31:12-17)
