Bijbel en eender welk geloofsboek lezen is voor volslagen idioten, daar doe ik niet aan mee.
Maar goed, ik citeer wikipedia
The original Sabbath, which actually means Saturday (
shabbat,
shabbos,
shabbes,
shobos, etc.) is a weekly day of rest for everyone, now observed from sundown on
Friday until the appearance of three stars in the sky on
Saturday night. Most Sabbath-keepers regard this seventh-day Sabbath to have been instituted as a "perpetual covenant [for] the people" (Exodus 31:13-17), a sign in respect for the day during which God rested after having completed the Creation in six days (Genesis 2:2-3, Exodus 20:8-11); Isaiah extends the term to include even corrupted rest-day traditions (1:13). (Some prominent rabbis believe the Sabbath was originally kept according to the four phases of the
moon, every seven or eight days.)
Sabbath desecration was officially punishable by death (Exodus 31:15); thirty-nine prohibited categories of work are listed in Tractate
Shabbat (Talmud). Customarily, Shabbat is ushered in by lighting
candles shortly before sunset, at
halakhically calculated times that change from week to week and from place to place. Several times a year, the weekly Sabbath is designated as one of the
Special Sabbaths, such as
Shabbat Teshuvah, the Sabbath of Repentance prior to
Yom Kippur. (In a distinct minority, some European
Reform Jews have moved Sabbath observances to
Sunday.)
