Footnotes

  1. 65 The noun שַׁבָּתוֹן (shabbaton) has the abstract ending on it: “resting, ceasing.” The root word means “cease” from something, more than “to rest.” The Law would make it clear that they were to cease from their normal occupations and do no common work.
  2. 66 The technical expression is now used: שַׁבַּת־קֹדֶשׁ (shabbat-qodesh, “a holy Sabbath”) meaning a “cessation of/for holiness” for Yahweh. The rest was to be characterized by holiness.
  3. 67 The two verbs in these objective noun clauses are desiderative imperfects—“bake whatever you want to bake.”
  4. 68 The word “today” is implied from the context.
