Sabbath in different languages and dialects...

[Reddogs]

The word for the seventh day of the week still means rest or Sabbath in many languages. This seems to give strong evidence that the weekly Sabbath was given at Creation to all mankind. Here are a few:

Hebrew (ancient and modern) - Shab-bath = Sabbath
Ancient Syriac - Shab-ba-tho = Sabbath
Babylonian - Sa-ba-tu = Sabbath
Assyrian - Sa-ba-tu = Sabbath
Arabic (ancient and modern) - as-Sabt = The Sabbath
Maltese - Is-sibt = The Sabbath
Ge-ez or Ethiopic - San-bat = The Sabbath
Coptic (Egypt, a dead language for 200 years) - pi sabbaton = The
Sabbath
Tamashek or Towarek - a-hal es-sabt = The Sabbath day
(from ancient Lybian or Numidian, Atlas Mountains, Africa)
Hausa (Central Africa) - assebatu = The Sabbath
Greek - Savvato
Portuguese - Sabado
Romanian - Sambata
Russian - Subbota
Gothic (oldest Germanic language) - Sabbato dags
Italian - Sabato
Spanish - Sabado

When we talk with all the brothers and sisters in the Islands and Spain, Italy and South and Central America they have no problem recognizing which day is the Sabbath...

Or Jews, being both ubiquitous and impactful wherever they lived, carried both the word and the concept of a seven-day week with them wherever they went.

You haven't answered my question yet.

How does one keep the Sabbath? When does it begin? When does it end?

I'm asking because it's interesting. And if I remember correct, you are the Jewish person.
Can you tell me?
I think traditionally it was the evening and morning of Saturday. And to keep it you would keep your place and do no "servile" work.
However, perhaps the precepts of Moses were for Israel alone. It was written that only Israel, God "knew", out of all the nations.
Deuteronomy 11
1Therefore thou shalt love the LORD thy God, and keep his charge, and his statutes, and his judgments, and his commandments, alway.
2And know ye this day: for I speak not with your children which have not known, and which have not seen the chastisement of the LORD your God, his greatness, his mighty hand, and his stretched out arm,

Jesus said that those were for the hardness of the heart of Israel. One suggestion is that while Israel was in Egypt, they were often overworked and one reason God had pity on them. And so they ought not do that thing either. And another suggestion was that God rested after creating this place, and so it was likewise to worship God in that way.

I'm still waiting for an answer from our local SDA member, who claims to keep the Sabbath.
