what is the definition of sabbath in hebrew?
shabbat
sabbath (as the verb שָׁבַת֙ "šāḇaṯ") is first mentioned in the genesis creation narrative, where the seventh day is set aside as a day of rest (in hebrew, "shabbath"), and made holy by god (). observation and remembrance of sabbath ( "šabbaṯ") 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). most jews who observe the sabbath regard it as having been instituted as a perpetual covenant for the israelites (), as a sign respecting two events: the day during which god rested after having completed creation in six days (), and the israelites' deliverance from egypt (). however, most sabbath-keeping christians regard the sabbath as having been instituted by god at the end of creation week, and that the entire world was then, and continues to be, obliged to observe the seventh day as sabbath. originally, sabbath-breakers were officially to be cut off from the assembly or potentially killed (). observance in the hebrew bible was universally from sixth-day sundown to seventh-day sundown (, cf. ), on a seven-day week. consultations with prophets (ii kings iv. 23) were sought on the sabbath. sabbath corporate worship was not prescribed for the community at large and the sabbath activities at the shrines were originally a convocation of priests for the purpose of offering divine sacrifices with family worship and rest being centered in homes.

in other peculiar words of interest, they made use of the word, "shilṭön" (), for “governor” or “king,” instead of “government,” the latter word now being the more common usage in modern hebrew; "kothev" (), for “scrivener”, or copyist of religious texts, instead of the word “sofer” (scribe); "ṣibbūr" (), for "a quorum of at least ten adult males," a word used in yemen instead of the modern hebrew word, "minyan"; "ḥefeṣ" (), a noun meaning “desirable thing,” was used by them to describe any “book” (especially one of a prophylactic nature), although now in modern hebrew it means “object”; "fiqfūq" () had the connotation of “shock,” “violent agitation,” or “shaking-up,” although today, in modern hebrew, it has the meaning of “doubt” or “skepticism”; the word, "harpathqe" (), was used to describe “great hardships,” although in modern hebrew the word has come to mean “adventures.” the word "fazmūn" (), any happy liturgical poem, such as those sung on "simhat torah", differs from today’s modern hebrew word, "pizmon" (), meaning, a “chorus” to a song. another peculiar aspect of yemenite hebrew is what concerns denominative verbs. one of the nouns used for bread (made of wheat) is "himmuṣ" (), derived from the blessing that is said whenever breaking bread, [המוציא [לחם מן הארץ = "he that brings forth" [bread from the earth]. whenever they wanted to say its imperative form, “break bread!”, they made use of the denominative verb "hammeṣ"! (). similarly, the noun for the third sabbath meal was "qiyyūm" (), literally meaning “observance,” in which they made use of the denominative verb, "tǝqayyem" () = "will you eat with us" (the third sabbath meal)?, or, נְקַיֵּם = "let us eat" (the third sabbath meal), or, "qiyam" () = "he ate" (the third sabbath meal).
