What does it mean to keep the Sabbath day holy? “Sabbath” is from the Hebrew shabbath, which means “rest.” “Holy” means “set apart” for God's purposes. God commanded Israel to set apart each seventh day, following six days of work, for rest and worship. (Genesis 2:2; Exodus 31:12–17; Psalm 23:1–3; Mark 1:21–22) We will conclude today by praying a Collect for Sabbath Rest found on page 24 of the Book of Common Prayer (2019).
