Sabbath

Definition:

The term “Sabbath” refers to the seventh day of the week, which God commanded the Israelites to set apart as a day of rest and doing no work.

After God finished creating the world in six days, he rested on the seventh day. In the same way, God commanded the Israelites to set aside the seventh day as a special day to rest and worship him.
The command to “keep the Sabbath holy” is one of the ten commandments that God wrote on the stone tablets that he gave Moses for the Israelites.
Following the Jewish system of counting days, the Sabbath begins on Friday at sundown and lasts until Saturday at sundown.
Sometimes in the Bible the Sabbath is called “Sabbath day” rather than only the Sabbath.

This could also be translated as “resting day” or “day for resting” or “day of not working” or “God’s day of rest.”
Some translations capitalize this term to show that it is a special day, as in “Sabbath Day” or “Resting Day.”
Consider how this term is translated in a local or national language.
