Vers. 10.
In the former verse, Paul sets down the Apostasy of the Galatians in general terms, saying, How turn ye again to the Elements of the world? In the 10. verse, he shows, what these Elements be, Ye observed days, and months, and times, and years. §30By days, are meant Jewish Sabbaths: by months, the feasts observed every month in the day of the new moon. By times, some understand the feast of the Passover, the feast of Pentecost, and the feast of Tabernacles. But the word ([Greek or Hebrew]) signifies, seasons, or fit times for the doing of this or that business. So §35is it translated, Act. 1. 7. It is not for you to know the times and seasons.

And it is very likely, that the Galatians observed days not only in the Jewish, but also in the heathenish ⟨p. 314⟩manner. By years, are meant every seventh year, and the Jubilee years, which the Galatians observed after the fashion of the Jews.
