      1. A season or day of rest; one day in seven appointed for

            from the last to the first day of the week, which is

      Usage: Sabbath is not strictly synonymous with Sunday.
                  Sabbath denotes the institution; Sunday is the name of

                  on Saturday, and the Sabbath of most Christians on
                  Sunday. In New England, the first day of the week has
                  been called [bd]the Sabbath,[b8] to mark it as holy
                  time; Sunday is the word more commonly used, at
                  present, in all parts of the United States, as it is
                  in England. [bd]So if we will be the children of our
                  heavenly Father, we must be careful to keep the

      A substance which dissolves in water, thus forming a lather,

      potassium, etc., with the fatty acids (oleic, stearic,
      palmitic, etc.). See the Note below, and cf.

From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
   spod n.   [UK] 1. A lower form of life found on {talker system}s
   and {MUD}s.   The spod has few friends in {RL} and uses talkers
   instead, finding communication easier and preferable over the net.
   He has all the negative traits of the {computer geek} without having
   any interest in computers per se.   Lacking any knowledge of or
   interest in how networks work, and considering his access a
   God-given right, he is a major irritant to sysadmins, clogging up
   lines in order to reach new MUDs, following passed-on instructions
   on how to sneak his way onto Internet ("Wow!   It's in America!") and
   complaining when he is not allowed to use busy routes.   A true spod
   will start any conversation with "Are you male or female?" (and
   follow it up with "Got any good numbers/IDs/passwords?") and will
   not talk to someone physically present in the same terminal room
   until they log onto the same machine that he is using and enter talk
   mode.   Compare {newbie}, {tourist}, {weenie}, {twink}, {terminal
   junkie}, {warez d00dz}.   2. A {backronym} for "Sole Purpose, Obtain a
      Degree"; according to some self-described spods, this term is used
   by indifferent students to condemn their harder-working fellows.
   Compare the defiant adoption of the term `geek' in the mid-1990s by
   people who would previously have been stigmatized by it (see
   {computer geek}). 3. [obs.] An ordinary person; a {random}.   This is
   the meaning with which the term was coined, but the inventor informs
   us he has himself accepted sense 1.

   spod
  
      (Great Britain) A lower form of life found on {chat}
      systems and {MUD}s.   The spod has few friends in {RL} and uses
      chat instead, finding communication easier and preferable over
      the {net}.   He has all the negative traits of the {computer
      geek} without having any interest in computers per se.
      Lacking any knowledge of, or interest in, how networks work,
      and considering his access a God-given right, he is a major
      irritant to {sysadmins}, clogging up lines in order to reach
      new {MUD}s, following passed-on instructions on how to sneak
      his way onto {Internet} ("Wow!   It's in America!") and
      complaining when he is not allowed to use busy routes.   A true
      spod will start any conversation with "Are you male or
      female?" (and follow it up with "Got any good
      numbers/IDs/passwords?") and will not talk to someone
      physically present in the same terminal room until they log
      onto the same computer that he is using and enter {chat}.
  
      Compare {newbie}, {tourist}, {weenie}, {twink}, {terminal
      junkie}, {dweeb}.

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Sabaoth
      the transliteration of the Hebrew word _tsebha'oth_, meaning
      "hosts," "armies" (Rom. 9:29; James 5:4). In the LXX. the Hebrew
      word is rendered by "Almighty." (See Rev. 4:8; comp. Isa. 6:3.)
      It may designate Jehovah as either (1) God of the armies of
      earth, or (2) God of the armies of the stars, or (3) God of the
      unseen armies of angels; or perhaps it may include all these
      ideas.
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Sabbath
      (Heb. verb shabbath, meaning "to rest from labour"), the day of
      rest. It is first mentioned as having been instituted in
      Paradise, when man was in innocence (Gen. 2:2). "The sabbath was
      made for man," as a day of rest and refreshment for the body and
      of blessing to the soul.
     
         It is next referred to in connection with the gift of manna to
      the children of Israel in the wilderness (Ex. 16:23); and
      afterwards, when the law was given from Sinai (20:11), the
      people were solemnly charged to "remember the sabbath day, to
      keep it holy." Thus it is spoken of as an institution already
      existing.
     
         In the Mosaic law strict regulations were laid down regarding
      its observance (Ex. 35:2, 3; Lev. 23:3; 26:34). These were
      peculiar to that dispensation.
     
         In the subsequent history of the Jews frequent references are
      made to the sanctity of the Sabbath (Isa. 56:2, 4, 6, 7; 58:13,
      14; Jer. 17:20-22; Neh. 13:19). In later times they perverted
      the Sabbath by their traditions. Our Lord rescued it from their
      perversions, and recalled to them its true nature and intent
      (Matt. 12:10-13; Mark 2:27; Luke 13:10-17).
     
         The Sabbath, originally instituted for man at his creation, is
      of permanent and universal obligation. The physical necessities
      of man require a Sabbath of rest. He is so constituted that his
      bodily welfare needs at least one day in seven for rest from
      ordinary labour. Experience also proves that the moral and
      spiritual necessities of men also demand a Sabbath of rest. "I
      am more and more sure by experience that the reason for the
      observance of the Sabbath lies deep in the everlasting
      necessities of human nature, and that as long as man is man the
      blessedness of keeping it, not as a day of rest only, but as a
      day of spiritual rest, will never be annulled. I certainly do
      feel by experience the eternal obligation, because of the
      eternal necessity, of the Sabbath. The soul withers without it.
      It thrives in proportion to its observance. The Sabbath was made
      for man. God made it for men in a certain spiritual state
      because they needed it. The need, therefore, is deeply hidden in
      human nature. He who can dispense with it must be holy and
      spiritual indeed. And he who, still unholy and unspiritual,
      would yet dispense with it is a man that would fain be wiser
      than his Maker" (F. W. Robertson).
     
         The ancient Babylonian calendar, as seen from recently
      recovered inscriptions on the bricks among the ruins of the
      royal palace, was based on the division of time into weeks of
      seven days. The Sabbath is in these inscriptions designated
      Sabattu, and defined as "a day of rest for the heart" and "a day
      of completion of labour."
     
         The change of the day. Originally at creation the seventh day
      of the week was set apart and consecrated as the Sabbath. The
      first day of the week is now observed as the Sabbath. Has God
      authorized this change? There is an obvious distinction between
      the Sabbath as an institution and the particular day set apart
      for its observance. The question, therefore, as to the change of
      the day in no way affects the perpetual obligation of the
      Sabbath as an institution. Change of the day or no change, the
      Sabbath remains as a sacred institution the same. It cannot be
      abrogated.
     
         If any change of the day has been made, it must have been by
      Christ or by his authority. Christ has a right to make such a
      change (Mark 2:23-28). As Creator, Christ was the original Lord
      of the Sabbath (John 1:3; Heb. 1:10). It was originally a
      memorial of creation. A work vastly greater than that of
      creation has now been accomplished by him, the work of
      redemption. We would naturally expect just such a change as
      would make the Sabbath a memorial of that greater work.
     
         True, we can give no text authorizing the change in so many
      words. We have no express law declaring the change. But there
      are evidences of another kind. We know for a fact that the first
      day of the week has been observed from apostolic times, and the
      necessary conclusion is, that it was observed by the apostles
      and their immediate disciples. This, we may be sure, they never
      would have done without the permission or the authority of their
      Lord.
     
         After his resurrection, which took place on the first day of
      the week (Matt. 28:1; Mark 16:2; Luke 24:1; John 20:1), we never
      find Christ meeting with his disciples on the seventh day. But
      he specially honoured the first day by manifesting himself to
      them on four separate occasions (Matt. 28:9; Luke 24:34, 18-33;
      John 20:19-23). Again, on the next first day of the week, Jesus
      appeared to his disciples (John 20:26).
     
         Some have calculated that Christ's ascension took place on the
      first day of the week. And there can be no doubt that the
      descent of the Holy Ghost at Pentecost was on that day (Acts
      2:1). Thus Christ appears as instituting a new day to be
      observed by his people as the Sabbath, a day to be henceforth
      known amongst them as the "Lord's day." The observance of this
      "Lord's day" as the Sabbath was the general custom of the
      primitive churches, and must have had apostolic sanction (comp.
      Acts 20:3-7; 1 Cor. 16:1, 2) and authority, and so the sanction
      and authority of Jesus Christ.
     
         The words "at her sabbaths" (Lam. 1:7, A.V.) ought probably to
      be, as in the Revised Version, "at her desolations."
