Leviticus 23:3
Six days shall ye do work: the seventh day, because it is the rest of the sabbath, shall be called holy. You shall do no work on that day: it is the sabbath of the Lord in all your habitations.

- Vulgate (Clementine)
- Sex diebus facietis opus : dies septimus, quia sabbati requies est, vocabitur sanctus : omne opus non facietis in eo : sabbatum Domini est in cunctis habitationibus vestris.
- Septuagint (Swete)
- Ἓξ ἡμέρας ποιήσεις ἔργα, καὶ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ ἑβδόμῃ σάββατα ἀνάπαυσις κλητὴ ἁγία τῷ κυρίῳ· πᾶν ἔργον οὐ ποιήσεις, σάββατά ἐστιν τῷ κυρίῳ ὑμῶν ἐν πάσῃ κατοικίᾳ ὑμῶν.
- Hebrew (WLC)

Haydock's commentary
Sabbath. Hebrew, "the rest of rest;" a day in which no unnecessary servile work must be done, no more than on the great holidays, ver. 6, 8. (Haydock)
Called holy, because it shall be really so: in which sense the word is often used, Isaias ix. 6, &c.
Day; you must not even dress meat, which was also forbidden on the day of expiation.
Lord, on which he ceased from work, and which you must keep in his honour.
Habitations. In the temple, the priests were intent upon sacrificing, which was indeed a material, but not a formal, violation of the sabbath, Matthew xii. 5.
