The common belief is the Seventh Day Rest (later known as Sabbath, or Shabbat) is not for a Christian, it is a "Jewish thing". And the Seventh Day Rest no longer needs to be observed because Jesus is a Christians Rest/Sabbath now.

Let's see what scripture says about that starting at the very beginning and then working from Genesis to Revelation.

Scripture: - Exodus 34:21

"Six days you shall work, but on the seventh day you shall rest: in plowing time and in harvest you shall rest.

Define:

• None.

Who:

• Moses - Moses is up on the mountain with Yah-God.
• You - In Hebrew, pronouns can be singular or plural, and the context determines the referent.
  • The commands shift to plural in Hebrew (e.g., "you" in v. 18 is plural in the Hebrew text, addressing Israel as a collective). The you in v 21 is plural.
  • In v 29 it switches back to a singular you, referencing Moses.

What:

• Six days work
• Seventh day rest

When:

• In plowing and harvest time:

Why:

• Back in verses 10-11 Yah-God says:
  • I am cutting a covenant. Before all the people I will do wonders
  • All the people you //Moses// are among will see the work of God.
  • Obey all that I am commanding you //Moses//
