• Sabbath or Shabbat refers to a time of rest and worship. It involves ceasing from regular work and activities to focus on God, family, and personal reflection. This practice is rooted in the biblical command to remember the Sabbath and keep it holy, emphasizing both physical and spiritual rest.
• Exodus 31:17b – For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, but on the seventh day he rested and was refreshed.
• Isaiah 58:13-14 – “If you keep from desecrating the Sabbath, from doing whatever you want on my holy day; if you call the Sabbath a delight, and the holy day of the Lord honorable; if you honor it, not going your own ways, seeking your own pleasure, or talking business; then you will delight in the Lord, and I will make you ride over the heights of the land, and let you enjoy the heritage of your father Jacob.” For the mouth of the Lord has spoken.
• Hebrews 4:9-11 – Therefore, a Sabbath rest remains for God’s people. For the person who has entered his rest has rested from his own works, just as God did from his. Let us, then, make every effort to enter that rest, so that no one will fall into the same pattern of disobedience.
• Mark 2:27-18 – Then he told them, “The Sabbath was made for man and not man for the Sabbath. So then, the Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath.”
