They are often called "the people" in the Old Testament, emphasizing their collective identity as God's chosen nation. This collective identity is significant throughout the Pentateuch, as it underscores their covenant relationship with God.<p><b>rested</b><br>The concept of rest here is rooted in the Hebrew word "Shabbat," which means to cease or desist. This rest is not merely physical but also spiritual, symbolizing trust and obedience to God's command. The Sabbath rest is a reflection of God's rest on the seventh day of creation (<a href="/genesis/2-2.htm">Genesis 2:2-3</a>), establishing a pattern for humanity. It is a time for renewal and worship, setting apart the day as holy. The Sabbath rest also foreshadows the ultimate rest found in Christ, as mentioned in <a href="/hebrews/4-9.htm">Hebrews 4:9-10</a>, where believers enter into God's rest through faith.<p><b>on the seventh day</b><br>The seventh day, or Sabbath, is a recurring theme in the Bible, signifying completion and perfection. It is a day set apart by God for rest and worship, as commanded in the Fourth Commandment (<a href="/exodus/20-8.htm">Exodus 20:8-11</a>). The observance of the Sabbath was a sign of the covenant between God and Israel (<a href="/exodus/31-16.htm">Exodus 31:16-17</a>). In the New Testament, the concept of the Sabbath is expanded to signify the rest believers have in Christ, who fulfills the law and provides spiritual rest (<a href="/colossians/2-16.htm">Colossians 2:16-17</a>). The seventh day also points to the eschatological rest in the new creation, where God's people will enjoy eternal rest and fellowship with Him.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_israelites.htm">The Israelites</a></b><br>The chosen people of God, who were delivered from slavery in Egypt and are now journeying through the wilderness.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/m/moses.htm">Moses</a></b><br>The leader of the Israelites, chosen by God to guide them and communicate His laws and instructions.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_wilderness_of_sin.htm">The Wilderness of Sin</a></b><br>The location where the Israelites camped and where God provided manna from heaven.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_sabbath.htm">The Sabbath</a></b><br>The seventh day of the week, instituted by God as a day of rest and worship, commemorating His rest after creation.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/m/manna.htm">Manna</a></b><br>The miraculous bread from heaven provided by God to sustain the Israelites during their journey in the wilderness.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/t/the_gift_of_rest.htm">The Gift of Rest</a></b><br>God designed the Sabbath as a gift for His people, providing physical rest and spiritual renewal.
