Sabbath Terminology in Leviticus

By George Ide Butler

G. I. BUTLER: The word rendered Sabbath, in Lev. xxiii, 24, 32, is the word that is rendered Sabbath in Ex. xx, 8, and which in nearly every other instance of its use, refers to the weekly Sabbath. The word rendered Sabbath in verse 39, is Shabbaththohn, which occurs in the O. T. eleven times, and is translated “rest,” eight of those times. It is the word translated “rest” in Ex. xvi, 23; xxxi, 15; xxxv, 2; and Lev. xxiii, 3.
