Shabbat
Genesis 2:3 (ESV) So God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it God rested from all his work that he had done in creation. Shabbat, the first of the moedim! God made it holy; and what God declares set apart, we keep set apart!
Exodus 16:23b-26 (ESV) “‘Tomorrow is a day of solemn rest, a holy Sabbath to the Lord; bake what you will bake and boil what you will boil, and all that is left over lay aside to be kept till the morning.’” … Moses said, “Eat it today, for today is a Sabbath to the Lord; today you will not find it in the field. Six days you shall gather it, but on the seventh day, which is a Sabbath, there will be none.” On the 6th day we are to prepare meals for the 7th, Shabbat, so there will be no need to work. This is a commandment for us as well.
Exodus 16:29 (ESV) See! The Lord has given you the Sabbath; therefore on the sixth day he gives you bread for two days. Remain each of you in his place; let no one go out of his place on the seventh day.” Rabbinical Judaism interprets this to be a commandment not to leave the boundaries of one’s city. It sounds here like they couldn’t leave their tents, but that could be more a drudgery than a blessing. And what about having a holy convocation on Shabbat? I interpret this as a command to not travel any farther nor any more than is absolutely necessary.
Exodus 20:8-11 (ESV) “Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days you shall labor, and do all your work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the Lord your God. On it you shall not do any work, you, or your son, or your daughter, your male servant, or your female servant, or your livestock, or the sojourner who is within your gates. For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested on the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy.” The most oft repeated commandment, Shabbat, and the first one we are given in scripture. Note here too not only are we not to work, but we are not to cause others to work in our stead. This is a day of rest for everyone, and a witness to those around us. Exodus 23:12 (ESV) “Six days you shall do your work, but on the seventh day you shall rest; that your ox and your donkey may have rest, and the son of your servant woman, and the alien, may be refreshed.” Again, the Shabbat rest is commanded for your entire household, including your beasts.
Exodus 31:12 (ESV) And the Lord said to Moses, “You are to speak to the people of Israel and say, ‘Above all you shall keep my Sabbaths, for this is a sign between me and you throughout your generations, that you may know that I, the Lord, sanctify you. You shall keep the Sabbath, because it is holy for you. Everyone who profanes it shall be put to death. Whoever does any work on it, that soul shall be cut off from among his people." Again the command to keep Shabbat; and it is emphasized by saying “Above all you shall keep my Sabbaths.” And it is further emphasized by being in the list of 10 Commandments in both Ex 20 & 34.
Exodus 34:21 (ESV) “Six days you shall work, but on the seventh day you shall rest. In plowing time and in harvest you shall rest." Whatever we are doing, it is not as important as Shabbat.
Leviticus 19:3b (ESV) and you shall keep my Sabbaths: I am the Lord your God. Again, keep the Sabaths- all Sabbaths! Whenever Elohim says "I am the Lord your God," He is placing an exclamation point there!
Leviticus 19:30a (ESV) You shall keep my Sabbaths and reverence my sanctuary: I am the Lord. We need to be in synagogue whenever possible on Shabbat and other moedim! And both the day and the place are holy.
Leviticus 23:3 (ESV)“Six days shall work be done, but on the seventh day is a Sabbath of solemn rest, a holy convocation. You shall do no work. It is a Sabbath to the Lord in all your dwelling places." Shabbat is again the first of the commanded of the moedim.
Leviticus 26:2a (ESV) You shall keep my Sabbaths … keep whose Sabbaths? HaShem’s Sabbaths! The moedim, starting with the weekly Shabbatoth.
Deuteronomy 5:12-15 (ESV) “‘Observe the Sabbath day, to keep it holy, as the Lord your God commanded you. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the Lord your God. On it you shall not do any work, you or your son or your daughter or your male servant or your female servant, or your ox or your donkey or any of your livestock, or the sojourner who is within your gates, that your male servant and your female servant may rest as well as you. You shall remember that you were a slave in the land of Egypt, and the Lord your God brought you out from there with a mighty hand and an outstretched arm. Therefore the Lord your God commanded you to keep the Sabbath day. Keep the Sabbath holy, set apart to God. Here both the observance and the remembrance are bracketed by the command to keep the Sabbath.
