on the Sabbath rest
| Morphological Notes | Noun, neuter, singular, dative (Gr,N,,,,,DNS): dative singular form indicating location, time, or relation. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering preserves the core idea of cessation from labor inherent in σάββατον while reflecting the dative singular form with the preposition "on," indicating temporal or locative sense. "Sabbath rest" maintains the root meaning rather than treating it as a mere proper name. |
