8059. 'And on the seventh day there shall be a feast to Jehovah' means holy worship of the Lord. This is clear from the meaning of 'the seventh day' as a holy state, state being meant by 'day', see 23, 487, 488, 493, 893, 2788, 3462, 3785, 4850, 5672, 5962, and what is holy by 'seven', 395,433, 716, 881, 5265, 5268; and from the meaning of 'a feast to Jehovah' as worship of the Lord, worship with gladness of mind being meant by 'a feast', see 7093, and the Lord by 'Jehovah', 8046.
