The Sabbath was to be 24 hours of rest, because God rested on the seventh day, having worked for six days (as Israel did before keeping their Sabbath).
Sabato ilikuwa na saa 24 za kupumzika, kwa sababu Mungu alipumzika siku ya saba, akiisha fanya kazi kwa siku sita (kama Israeli walivyofanya kabla ya kutunza sabato yao).
