The evidence you will study will prove sabbath keeping is wrong The Hebrew Linguistics Of Genesis 2 Destroy Any Sabbath Commandment Possibilities. Discoveries in Hebrew linguistics prior to 1977 prove beyond any reasonable doubt that Moses used a Hebrew writing convention to limit the “memorial” described by his account of what happened on the 7th day to a one-time, non-recurring event that discusses what God did-- not what Man was supposed to do. The linguistic device he used exists only in Hebrew, so this unit of meaning is invisible in any other language. In English, or any other language, for that matter, there is only a clue that there is a critical piece of information missing. Note that Moses ended his account of the events of the first six days of creation with the “evening and the morning” phrase, but he deleted it from his account of the 7th day. In the Hebrew language, this is a writer’s way of indicating that the day referred to in this manner is limited to a one-time, non-recurring event. Therefore, Moses’ statement can not be construed as repeating itself in a subsequent pattern of 7 days. The intent of the author could not be more clear in Hebrew. The “open-endedness” of the 7th day of Creation is well-known known in the world of biblical studies. (Documentation of this fact will be presented later in the paper with appropriate references.) It appears God knew there was a danger that His people, in the future, would make the mistake of reading a Sabbath commandment into the Creation account and that He directed Moses, through divine inspiration, to word this passage in such a way that it would minimize the possibility that future readers would blunder into such a serious error. Moses was discussing not what man was supposed to do, but what God did. If God was finished creating, His rest from creating |

cont..memorialized by that one day, would last forever. In Genesis 2 we find no mention of the word Sabbath, much less a Sabbath commandment. All we have is a statement about what God Himself did. A Hebrew reader studying this Hebrew text would not make such a mistake. In addition to a recorded statement of Moses that the covenant which contained the Sabbath commandment was given only to the Children of Israel, the clarity, in Hebrew of Moses’ account of what happened on the 7th day of Creation is one reason why the Jews believe that the Sabbath was given only to Israel and is not required of any other people.
