1). G. Vernon MGee: In this chapter the Lord returns to talk  to Israel about the Sabbath day. This is the third time. The LORD insists that the first reason for the Sabbath is that it belongs to the first creation. God rested on the Sabbath Day. As mankind left the creative hand of God, he began to wander away from Go.. There came the day when mankind as a whole no longer recognized God but began  to worship the creature. And man gave up keeping the Sabbath day. Now God said that the Sabbath was a peculiar sign between Himself and the children of Israel. God began to lay down rules that actually apply more to Israel in the Promised Land than to any other place. If anyone did work on the Sabbath day, he was stoned to death. It would be very hard to carry on our society without someone working on the Sabbath day, which is Saturday. Suppose no fire was kindled on the Sabbath. This would cause  great problems in the frozen North. God’s laws were made to suit the land in which israel lived.

2).  Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible: And Moses gathered all the congregation of the children of Israel together,.... According to Jarchi, on the morrow after the day of atonement; that is, the next day after his descent from the mount, being desirous of setting about the building of the tabernacle, and making all things appertaining to it as soon as possible; which had been retarded through the sin of the golden calf, and making reconciliation for that: and said unto them, these are the words which the Lord hath commanded, that ye should do them; namely, the law of the sabbath, as it had a peculiar relation to the making of the tabernacle, and the freewill offerings to be made on that account; for as for the commands, or other ordinances, whether ceremonial or judicial, the people had been made acquainted with them before.
