==Biblical tradition==

The term "Sabbath" derives from the [[Hebrew]] Shabbat (שַׁבָּת), "to cease", which was first used in the [[Biblical]] account of the [[seven]]th day of [[Creation]] ([https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Book_of_genesis#Chapter_.2 Genesis 2:2-3]). Observation and remembrance of Sabbath is one of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ten_Commandments Ten Commandments] (the fourth in the [[original]] [[Jewish]], the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eastern_Orthodox Eastern Orthodox], and most [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protestant Protestant] [[traditions]], the third in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_Catholic Roman Catholic] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lutheran Lutheran] traditions). Most people who [[observe]] Biblical Sabbath regard it as having been instituted as a "perpetual [[covenant]] [for] the people of [[Israel]]" ([https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Book_of_Exodus#Chapter_.31 Exodus 31:13-17]), a sign in respect for the day during which [[God]] rested after having completed the [[Creation]] in six days ([https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Book_of_Exodus#Chapter_.20 Exodus 20:8-11]), and for God's [[deliverance]] from the Egyptian seven-day workweek ([https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Book_of_Deutoronomy#Chapter_.5 Deuteronomy 5:12-15]); [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isaiah Isaiah] extends the term to include even corrupted rest-day [[traditions]] ([https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Book_of_Isaiah#Chapter_.1 Isaiah 1:13]). Sabbath desecration was originally officially punishable by [[death]] ([https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Book_of_Exodus#Chapter_.31 Exodus 31:15]). Observance in [[Hebrew Scriptures]] was [[universally]] from sixth-day evening to seventh-day evening ([https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Book_of_Nehemiah#Chapter_.13 Nehemiah 13:19], cf. [https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Book_of_Leviticus#Chapter_.23 Leviticus 23:32]) on a seven-day week.[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sabbath]
