"Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy", is one of the Ten Commandments,〔Exodus 20:1-21, Deuteronomy 5:1-23, ‘’Ten Commandments,’’ New Bible Dictionary, Second Edition, Tyndale House, 1982 pp. 1174-1175〕 which are widely understood as moral imperatives by Jewish, Catholic, Reformation and legal scholars.〔How Judges Think, Richard A. Posner, Harvard University Press, 2008, p. 322; ‘’Ten Commandments,’’ New Bible Dictionary, Second Edition, Tyndale House, 1982 pp. 1174-1175; The International Standard Bible Encyclopedia, Geoffrey W. Bromiley, 1988, p. 117; Renewal theology: systematic theology from a charismatic perspective, J. Rodman Williams, 1996 p.240; Making moral decisions: a Christian approach to personal and social ethics, Paul T. Jersild, 1991, p. 24〕 The book of Exodus describes the Ten Commandments as being spoken by God, inscribed on two stone tablets by the finger of God, broken by Moses, and rewritten on replacement stones by the . The full text of the commandment reads: It is sometimes referred to as the Sabbath Commandment. ==Background== According to Genesis, God created the heavens and the earth in six days, and on the seventh day, he rested. This is the Biblical origins of the week.〔Genesis 2:1-2; Sabbath, New Bible Dictionary, Second Edition, Tyndale House, 1982 pp. 1042-1043〕 God blessed the seventh day of the week and made it holy.〔Genesis2:3; Sabbath, New Bible Dictionary, Second Edition, Tyndale House, 1982 pp. 1042-1043〕 The next mention of the seventh-day Sabbath rest was after the Israelites had left Egypt and were travelling through the desert complaining of hunger. God provided manna for them each morning for the first six days of each week. They were not to save any manna from one day to the next. But on the sixth day, they were to collect enough manna for two days, so that they would not have to go out on the seventh day—the Sabbath.〔Exodus 16:13-36; Sabbath, New Bible Dictionary, Second Edition, Tyndale House, 1982 pp. 1042-1043; Sabbath, The New Unger’s Bible Dictionary, Moody Publishers, 1988, pp. 1095-1096〕 Some disobeyed God's instructions so God said to Moses, “How long will you refuse to keep my commands and my instructions? Bear in mind that the Lord has given you the Sabbath; that is why on the sixth day he gives you bread for two days. Everyone is to stay where they are on the seventh day; no one is to go out.” So the people rested on the seventh day."〔Lev 16:28-30〕 When God later gave them the 10 commandments on stone, Israel was commanded to remember the creation Sabbath and keep it holy by not doing any work and allowing the whole household (see also proselytes) to cease from work.〔Exodus 20; Sabbath, New Bible Dictionary, Second Edition, Tyndale House, 1982 pp. 1042-1043; Sabbath, The New Unger’s Bible Dictionary, Moody Publishers, 1988, pp. 1095-1096〕 This was in recognition of God’s act of creation and the special status that God had conferred to the seventh day during the creation week.〔Exodus 20:11-12; Sabbath, New Bible Dictionary, Second Edition, Tyndale House, 1982 pp. 1042-1043〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
