<P> Biblical Sabbath is a weekly day of rest or time of worship given in the Bible as the seventh day . It is observed differently in Judaism and Christianity and informs a similar occasion in several other faiths . Though many viewpoints and definitions have arisen over the millennia, most originate in the same textual tradition of "Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy". </P> <P> Observation and remembrance of Sabbath is one of the Ten Commandments (the fourth in the original Jewish, the Eastern Orthodox, and most Protestant traditions, the third in Roman Catholic and Lutheran traditions), sometimes referred to individually as the Sabbath Commandment . Most people who observe Biblical Sabbath regard it as having been made for man (Mark . 2: 27) at Creation (Ex. 20: 8--11), and instituted as a perpetual covenant for the people of Israel (Ex. 31: 13 - 17, Ex. 23: 12, Deut. 5: 13 - 14), a rule that also applies to proselytes, and a sign respecting two events: the seventh day, during which God rested after having completed Creation in six days (Gen. 2: 2 - 3, Ex. 20: 8 - 11), and God's deliverance of the Israelites from Egypt (Deut. 5: 12 - 15). </P> <Table> <Tr> <Td> Part of a series on the </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> Bible </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> <Ul> <Li> Canons and books </Li> </Ul> (show) <Ul> <Li> Tanakh <Ul> <Li> Torah </Li> <Li> Nevi'im </Li> <Li> Ketuvim </Li> </Ul> </Li> </Ul> <Ul> <Li> Christian biblical canons </Li> <Li> Hebrew Bible </Li> </Ul> <Ul> <Li> Old Testament (OT) </Li> <Li> New Testament (NT) </Li> </Ul> <Ul> <Li> Deuterocanon </Li> <Li> Antilegomena </Li> </Ul> <Ul> <Li> Chapters and verses </Li> </Ul> <Ul> <Li> Apocrypha <Ul> <Li> Jewish </Li> <Li> OT </Li> <Li> NT </Li> </Ul> </Li> </Ul> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> <Ul> <Li> Authorship and development </Li> </Ul> (show) <Ul> <Li> Authorship </Li> <Li> Dating </Li> <Li> Hebrew canon </Li> </Ul> <Ul> <Li> Old Testament canon </Li> <Li> New Testament canon </Li> <Li> Documentary hypothesis </Li> <Li> Mosaic authorship </Li> </Ul> <Ul> <Li> Pauline epistles </Li> <Li> Petrine epistles </Li> </Ul> <Ul> <Li> Johannine works </Li> </Ul> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> <Ul> <Li> Translations and manuscripts </Li> </Ul> (show) <Ul> <Li> Samaritan Torah </Li> <Li> Dead Sea scrolls </Li> <Li> Masoretic Text </Li> <Li> Targumim </Li> <Li> Peshitta </Li> <Li> Septuagint </Li> <Li> Vulgate </Li> <Li> Gothic Bible </Li> <Li> Vetus Latina </Li> <Li> Luther Bible </Li> <Li> English Bibles </Li> </Ul> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Biblical studies (show) <Table> <Tr> <Td> <Ul> <Li> Archeology </Li> <Li> Artifacts </Li> <Li> Dating </Li> <Li> Historicity </Li> <Li> Internal consistency </Li> <Li> People </Li> <Li> Places </Li> <Li> Names </Li> </Ul> <Ul> <Li> Novum Testamentum Graece </Li> <Li> Documentary hypothesis </Li> <Li> Synoptic problem </Li> <Li> NT textual categories </Li> </Ul> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> Biblical criticism </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> <Ul> <Li> Historical </Li> <Li> Textual </Li> <Li> Source </Li> <Li> Form </Li> <Li> Redaction </Li> <Li> Canonical </Li> </Ul> </Td> </Tr> </Table> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Interpretation (show) <Ul> <Li> Hermeneutics </Li> </Ul> <Ul> <Li> Pesher </Li> <Li> Midrash </Li> <Li> Pardes </Li> </Ul> <Ul> <Li> Allegorical interpretation </Li> <Li> Literalism </Li> </Ul> <Ul> <Li> Prophecy </Li> <Li> Inspiration </Li> </Ul> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Perspectives (show) <Ul> <Li> Gnostic </Li> <Li> Islamic </Li> <Li> Qur'anic </Li> <Li> Muhammad </Li> </Ul> <Ul> <Li> Inerrancy </Li> <Li> Infallibility </Li> </Ul> <Ul> <Li> Criticism of the Bible </Li> </Ul> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> <P> Outline of Bible - related topics </P> Bible book Bible portal </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> <Ul> <Li> </Li> <Li> </Li> <Li> </Li> </Ul> </Td> </Tr> </Table>
