SABBATH (PART III)

 

In the Book of Genesis. 

Long before there were any Jews; Muslims; Christians; or, any other tribes; the Creator (whose Name these three faith's disagree upon) essentially terraformed this planet to make it able to sustain life that he desired to create. 

The book of Genesis details the "work" which he had done breaking it into the seven days of creation. We call this the creation week; and, it contains within it a pattern (the creation week pattern) which we desperately need to remember; to consider. It matters more than we can imagine.

Genesis 2:2 

And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested (ויּשׁבּת) H7673 on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.  

This phrase here we see rendered "and he rested" is the Hebrew word SABAT. A verb.

Yet the phrase "the seventh day" is in the Hebrew (השּׁביעי) Ha Sheb-ee-ee...

In Hebrew the word "YOM" ( יוֹם ) means "DAY" or "period." Hebrew reads from right to left. So below you will see the word "YOM" (יוֹם) followed by the Hebrew name for the days of the week.  

DAY ONE:
YOM (DAY) -- RISHON (ONE) 

יוֹם רִאשׁוֹן

DAY TWO:
YOM (DAY) -- SHINI (TWO)

יוֹם שֵׁנִי

DAY THREE:  
YOM (DAY) -- SHILISHI (THREE)

יוֹם שְׁלִישִׁי

DAY FOUR:  
YOM (DAY) -- REVI'I (FOUR)

יוֹם רְבִיעִי

DAY FIVE:  

YOM (DAY) -- CHAMISHI (FIVE)

יוֹם חֲמִישִׁי

DAY SIX:  
YOM (DAY) -- SHIHI (SIX)

יוֹם שִׁישִׁי

DAY SEVEN:  
YOM (day) SHABBAT (REST)

יוֹם שַׁבָּת

As a Christian I was introduced to the "Sabbath" as being honored on Sunday; rather than Saturday. That was until I studied it out for myself. Below are a few documents showing how the word "Sabbath" occurs in many languages; and, how it is attached to the day we call Saturday.
