Shabbath means Sabbath or day of rest. It appears about 110 times. Derived from the verb shabath (to cease, rest), it designates the seventh day as holy rest, memorial of creation and redemption.
The Sabbath is a sign of the covenant (Exodus 31:13), a creation ordinance (Genesis 2:2-3), and a gift of rest. Keeping the Sabbath is one of the Ten Commandments. Jesus declared Himself 'Lord of the Sabbath,' reinterpreting but not abolishing its significance. It points toward eternal rest.
