*Purpose and circumstances of a fast*
- the purpose is not only to humble the body
Isaiah 58:5
The prophet informs them that fasting is useless if it is not accompanied by abstaining from evil. These people fast 'on that day ' which is possibly Yom kippur, the Day of Atonement, which the Lord had appointed as a special day of fasting to atone for sins.
Leviticus 16:29-34
It was a day on which people are required to humble themselves and deny themselves. But the people were hypocritically fasting once a year to obtain pardon for their sins while continuing to behave badly on that very day.
