Commentary on Exodus 12:16
The 'holy convocation' (miqra-qodesh, מִקְרָא־קֹדֶשׁ) means a sacred assembly where work ceases. Bracketing the feast with rest days (first and seventh) emphasizes that redemption leads to Sabbath rest. 'No manner of work' except food preparation teaches that while ceremony requires effort, salvation itself is received through rest, not works. This prefigures Christ's finished work.
