'''Sabbatical''' or a sabbatical (from [[Latin]] ''sabbaticus'', from [[Greek]] ''sabbatikos'', from [[Hebrew]] shabbat, i.e., [[Sabbath]], literally a "ceasing") is a [[rest]] from [[work]], or a hiatus, often lasting from two months to a year. The [[concept]] of sabbatical has a source in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shmita shmita], described several places in the [[Bible]] ([https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Book_of_Leviticus#Chapter_.25 Leviticus 25], for example, where there is a commandment to desist from working the fields in the seventh year). In the strict sense, therefore, sabbatical lasts a year.

The foundational [[Bible]] passage for sabbatical concepts is [https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Book_of_Genesis#Chapter_.2 Genesis 2:2-3], in which God rested (literally, "ceased" from his labour) after creating [[the universe]], and it is applied to people ([[Jew]] and [[Gentile]], slave and free) and even to beasts of [[burden]] in one of the Ten Commandments ([https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Book_of_Exodus#Chapter_.20 Exodus 20:8-11], reaffirmed in [https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Book_of_Deuteronomy#Chapter_.5 Deuteronomy 5:12-15]).
