Perhaps I had come acrost a poetic reference to the arrival of a a femininity called the Sabbat... I don't have a copy of the texts with me, I was curious if any one else might know what I am refering to.

The Hebrew letter Zayin is the number 7... I don't see how Sheba factors into this, other than being the decendent of Noah and the region between Ethiopia and Yemen.

It really is the day assigned to take a break for refreshment (body, spirit) after TOILING, EKING A LIVING OUTTA' THE SOIL OF THE GROUND, and ENDURING THE WORK WHICH MAKES THE BROW SWEAT.

"Sabbath" is an English word that hales from the Hebrew "shabat", and the Hebrew word is simply an adjustment of the word "sheba" (pronounced "sheh-vah"), the number 7.
It's nothing more than a commemoration of the 7th day tradition of rest, first initiated by God. He is believed to have set aside this day to recover from work.
To observe the day properly, we are to plan and complete our work by the end of the 6th day, and rest on the 7th, having no loose ends to worry about that would disrupt our peace on that day.
If we are to interpret deeper, our work throughout the week should be patterned after God's, in that the best work is to provide for the future well-being of our family, since this is what he did for the first 6 days.

For the Jewish people, the Sabbath is on Saturday. For the others it's on Sunday. It is said on the seventh day God rested and from His work and made it Holy. Some people think Sunday is the beginning of the week and some people think it is the last day of the week. So, depending who you are talking to you can chose Saturday or Sunday for your Sabbath.

As an ex-Seventh Day Adventist, I believed that the Sabbath was the 7th day of the week and was a holy day of rest. God created the world in six days and rested on the 7th. On this day you do not work and it is a day to worship God (attend church) and to reflect on his glorious creation, as he did. The Sabbath starts at sunset on Friday night and ends at sunset on Saturday night.

Period of rest assigned by God. Can be a day, week, year, and so forth. Is also designed by the number seven. Seventh day, seventh year, etc. It's part of the Law of God to Israel—The Law of Moses.

Sabbath is actually Saturday,the final day of the 7 days. Yahweh took the first 6 days to create,so on the 7th day,which is Saturday,is the actual day of rest. Which means,you do not make any money, & you do not do any work on that day,as it is holy to Yahweh. http://www.houseofyahweh.com

The Sabbath is the seventh day of the week in which one is to cease from work, not deal with money, and rest.

To be empty handed. To not claim anything. To be humble. To be free of becoming. Just to be. To "know" God.
