of the Sabbath-rest
| Root | σάββατον (sabbaton) |
| Core Meanings | Sabbath, rest, cessation, day of rest, week-interval |
| Semantic Range | the seventh-day Sabbath; the sacred day of cessation from labor; Sabbath observance; the institution of Sabbath; by extension, a week (interval between Sabbaths) |
| Conceptual Significance | σάββατον reflects the Hebrew שַׁבָּת (Shabbat), the covenant sign of rest between YHWH and Israel. It embodies divine cessation after creation, covenant identity, and sacred time set apart, later becoming central in Second Temple Jewish life and in New Testament discussions of law, rest, and messianic fulfillment. |
| Morphological Notes | Gr,N,,,,,GNS — noun, genitive, neuter, singular. The genitive singular form denotes possession, source, time reference ("on the Sabbath"), or association ("of the Sabbath"). |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering preserves the core meaning of σάββατον as a day characterized by sacred rest and cessation. The genitive singular form (GNS) is reflected by the phrase "of the," indicating possession, association, or time reference, while "Sabbath-rest" keeps the connection to the Hebrew concept of Shabbat as cessation from labor. |
