Strong's Lexicon sabbaton: Sabbath Original Word: σάββατον Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew word שַׁבָּת (shabbat), meaning "rest" or "cessation." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - H7676: שַׁבָּת (shabbat) - Sabbath, rest - H7677: שַׁבָּתוֹן (shabbaton) - a special Sabbath observance Usage: The term "sabbaton" refers to the Sabbath, a day of rest observed by the Jewish people on the seventh day of the week, as commanded by God. In the New Testament, "sabbaton" is used to denote both the weekly Sabbath and, by extension, a period of rest or cessation from work. It is a day set apart for worship and reflection, commemorating God's rest after creation. Cultural and Historical Background: The Sabbath is rooted in the creation narrative found in Genesis 2:2-3, where God rested on the seventh day. It was later codified in the Ten Commandments (Exodus 20:8-11) as a covenant sign between God and Israel. In Jewish tradition, the Sabbath begins at sunset on Friday and ends at sunset on Saturday. It is a day marked by rest from labor, worship, and family gatherings. In the New Testament era, the early Christians, many of whom were Jewish, continued to observe the Sabbath, while also gathering on the first day of the week to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus.
