The term "Sabbath" is derived from the Hebrew word "Shabbat," meaning "to cease" or "to rest." It is a day set apart for rest and worship, signifying a covenantal relationship between God and His people. Old Testament Foundations The Sabbath is first introduced in the creation narrative of Genesis. After six days of creation, God rested on the seventh day, blessing and sanctifying it (<a href="/genesis/2-2.htm">Genesis 2:2-3</a>). This divine rest established a pattern for humanity, later codified in the Ten Commandments given to Moses on Mount Sinai. The Fourth Commandment instructs, "Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the LORD your God" (<a href="/exodus/20-8.htm">Exodus 20:8-10</a>). The Sabbath was a sign of the covenant between God and Israel, serving as a reminder of God's creation and deliverance. In <a href="/deuteronomy/5-15.htm">Deuteronomy 5:15</a>, the Sabbath is linked to the Israelites' liberation from Egypt: "Remember that you were a slave in the land of Egypt, and the LORD your God brought you out of there with a mighty hand and an outstretched arm. Therefore the LORD your God has commanded you to keep the Sabbath day" . Sabbath Observance and Regulations The observance of the Sabbath was marked by rest from labor and a focus on worship and community. Various regulations were established to ensure the sanctity of the day. For instance, the Israelites were prohibited from kindling a fire (<a href="/exodus/35-3.htm">Exodus 35:3</a>) and gathering manna (<a href="/exodus/16-23.htm">Exodus 16:23-30</a>) on the Sabbath. Violations of the Sabbath were met with severe consequences, as seen in <a href="/numbers/15-32.htm">Numbers 15:32-36</a>, where a man gathering wood on the Sabbath was put to death. The Sabbath also included special observances such as the Sabbatical Year and the Year of Jubilee. Every seventh year, the land was to lie fallow, allowing it to rest (<a href="/leviticus/25-4.htm">Leviticus 25:4</a>). The Year of Jubilee, occurring every fiftieth year, was a time of liberation and restoration, where debts were forgiven, and land was returned to its original owners (<a href="/leviticus/25-10.htm">Leviticus 25:10</a>). Prophetic and Wisdom Literature The prophets often called the people back to proper Sabbath observance, linking it to social justice and righteousness. <a href="/isaiah/58-13.htm">Isaiah 58:13-14</a> emphasizes the blessings of honoring the Sabbath: "If you turn your foot from breaking the Sabbath, from doing as you please on My holy day, if you call the Sabbath a delight and the LORD’s holy day honorable...then you will find your joy in the LORD" . New Testament Perspectives In the New Testament, Jesus' teachings and actions regarding the Sabbath reveal its intended purpose and fulfillment. Jesus often healed on the Sabbath, challenging the Pharisaic interpretations that prioritized legalism over compassion. In <a href="/mark/2-27.htm">Mark 2:27-28</a>, Jesus declares, "The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath. Therefore, the Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath" . This statement underscores the Sabbath's role in serving humanity's need for rest and spiritual renewal. The early church grappled with the observance of the Sabbath, especially as Gentile believers joined the faith. The Apostle Paul addressed this issue, emphasizing freedom in Christ and the principle that one should not judge another regarding Sabbath days (<a href="/colossians/2-16.htm">Colossians 2:16-17</a>). The focus shifted from a strict observance of the day to the spiritual rest found in Christ, who fulfills the Sabbath's ultimate purpose. Theological Significance The Sabbath holds profound theological significance, symbolizing rest, worship, and the eschatological hope of eternal rest in God's presence. It serves as a reminder of God's creative power, His redemptive work, and the promise of future restoration. The Sabbath invites believers to pause, reflect, and realign their lives with God's purposes, finding rest in His sovereignty and grace.<a name="isb" id="isb"></a><div class="vheading2">International Standard Bible Encyclopedia</div>SABBATHS, OF YEARSsab'-aths, (shabbethoth shanim; anapauseis eton (<a href="/leviticus/25-8.htm">Leviticus 25:8</a>)): The seven sabbatic years preceding the Year of Jubilee.
