Leviticus 23:1-3. This verse is reason we study Weekly Shabbat with the rest of the Festivals or Feasts. God includes it along with all the other important days on His calendar.
FIRST MENTIONED in Genesis 2:1-3. God blessed and separated a certain amount of TIME to be holy. 24 hours each week to be Holy. The Shabbat was the pinnacle of God’s creation.
Shabbat is mentioned before the commandments were given at Sinai:- Exodus 16 The scripture says that it was a test! Exodus 16:4, and Exodus 16:28.
Background Reading:
Scheduled Festivals
23:1 The LORD told Moses, 2 “Tell the Israelis that these are my appointed times for festivals by the LORD that you are to declare as sacred assemblies: 3 Six days you may work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath of rest, a sacred assembly. You are not to do any work. It’s a Sabbath to the LORD wherever you live. 4 These are the LORD’s appointed festivals and sacred assemblies that you are to declare at their appointed time.
