Translation

Indeed one judges

Go to footnote number

a day to be above another day; however, one judges every day. May each one be completely assured in his own mind.

Paraphrase

Indeed, one person esteems one day as more sacred than the other days, while another person esteems all days equally high. Each person must make up his mind and be full persuaded of his own position.

Footnotes

The basic idea of “judge” is to “separate” in order to know which to punish and which to reward. Thus this word can result in negative consequences or in positive ones. In this case it is all positive, with either one day or all the days receiving special treatment.
