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.
