SIGN OR SYMBOL
symbolic importance of the Sabbath in God’s covenant with Israel. It was called a “sign” of the covenant (Exodus 31:13), like a wedding ring is to a marriage. Not wearing your wedding ring suggests that you’re not committed to your marriage. In the same way, not honoring the Sabbath showed contempt for the covenant as a whole (Numbers 15:32-36).

(Exodus 29:33).
The words may properly mean “in the days when Abiathar was living who became high priest, and was more eminent than his father.” The shewbread; literally, the bread of the face, that is, of the Divine presence, symbolizing the Divine Being who is the Bread of life.
. Man was not made for the sabbath,for he was made a day before the sabbath was instituted. Man was made for God,and for his honour and service, and he just rather die than deny him; but he was not made for the sabbath,…
…2. He had much moreregard to our souls.The sabbathwas made a day of rest, only in order to its being a day of holy work, a day of communion with God, a day of praise and thanksgiving;
