However, the concept of the Sabbath (from which Shabbethay is derived) is represented in Greek by the word σάββατον (sabbaton), Strong's Greek #4521.<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>Shabbethay is a proper noun used as a personal name in the Hebrew Bible. It is associated with individuals who were Levites, specifically those involved in the service of the temple and the teaching of the Law.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the post-exilic period, the role of the Levites was crucial in re-establishing the religious practices and teachings of the Torah among the Israelites. The name Shabbethay, derived from the word for "Sabbath," reflects the importance of rest and worship in Jewish culture. The Sabbath was a day set apart for rest and spiritual reflection, central to Jewish identity and religious practice.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/7673.htm">shabath</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a Levite<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Shabbethai (3).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">שַׁבְּתַי</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>proper name</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>Levite:</b></font> — <a href="/interlinear/ezra/10-15.htm">Ezra 10:15</a>;
