Original Word: שַׁבָּת
Part of Speech: Noun
Transliteration: shabbath
Pronunciation: shah-BAHTH
Phonetic Spelling: (shab-bawth')
Definition: Sabbath
Meaning: intermission, the Sabbath

Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root שָׁבַת (shavath), meaning "to cease" or "to rest."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G4521 - σάββατον (sabbaton): The Greek equivalent used in the New Testament to refer to the Sabbath.

Usage: The term "shabbath" primarily refers to the seventh day of the week, a day of rest and cessation from work, as commanded by God. It is a holy day set apart for rest and worship, commemorating God's rest after the creation of the world (Genesis 2:2-3). The Sabbath is a sign of the covenant between God and Israel, serving as a reminder of God's creation and deliverance.

Cultural and Historical Background: The Sabbath is deeply rooted in Jewish tradition and law, originating from the creation narrative in Genesis and codified in the Ten Commandments (Exodus 20:8-11; Deuteronomy 5:12-15). It was observed from Friday evening to Saturday evening, marked by rest from labor, worship, and family gatherings. The Sabbath was a distinctive feature of Jewish identity and religious practice, emphasizing rest, reflection, and renewal.
