The word Shabbat derives from the Hebrew root ש־ב־ת. Although frequently translated as "rest" (noun or verb), another accurate translation is "ceasing [from work]." [4] The notion of active cessation from labour is also regarded [by whom?] as more consistent with an omnipotent God's activity on the seventh day of creation according to Genesis.
The seventh day, Shabbat, as its Hebrew name indicates, is a day of rest in Judaism. In Talmudic Hebrew, the word Shabbat (שַׁבָּת) can also mean "week", [11] so that in ritual liturgy a phrase like "Yom Reviʻi beShabbat" means "the fourth day in the week". [12]

Shabbat is a widely noted hallmark of the Jewish people. Several weekly Shabbats per year are designated as Special Sabbaths, such as Shabbat haGadol, prior to Pesach (literally, "the High Sabbath", but not to be confused with other High Sabbaths); and Shabbat Teshuvah, prior to Yom Kippur ("Repentance Sabbath").
