The Children of Israel shall keep the Sabbath and observe it throughout their generations as an everlasting covenant.  It is a sign between me and the Children of Israel forever: For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day He ceased from work and rested.

Blessing of the Wife

 

 

An accomplished woman, who can find?   Far beyond pearls is her value.

Her husband’s heart relies on her and he lacks no fortune.   She repays his good, but never with harm, all the days of her life.   She seeks out wool and linen and her hands work willingly.  She is like a merchant’s ships, from afar she brings her sustenance.   She arises while it is yet nighttime, and gives food to her household and a ration to her maidens.   She sees a field and buys it, from the fruit of her handiwork she plants a vineyard.   With strength she girds her loins, and invigorates her arms.   She discerns that her enterprise is good so her lamp is not snuffed out by night.   Her hands she stretches out to the distaff, and her palms support her spindle.   She spreads out her palms to the poor, and extends her hands to the destitute.   She fears not snow for her household, for her entire household is clothed with scarlet wool.   Luxurious spreads she made herself, linen and purple wool are her clothing.   Distinctive in the councils is her husband, when he sits with the elders of the land.   She makes a cloak to sell, and delivers goods to the peddler.   Strength and majesty are her raiment, she joyfully awaits the last days.   She opens her mouth with wisdom, and a lesson of kindness is on her tongue.   She anticipates the needs of her household and does not partake of the bread of laziness.   Her children arise to praise her, her husband he praises her.   Many daughters have amassed achievement, but you surpassed them all.   False is grace and vain is beauty, a God fearing women she is to be praised. Give her the fruit of her hands and let her be praised in the gates by her very own deeds.    (Taken from Proverbs 31:10-31)

 

 

 

 

Genesis 2:1-3

 

Vay-chu-lu Ha-sha-myim V’ha-ahrets V’chal tzva-am. Vay-chal Elohem Ba-yom Ha-shHH’vi-ee M’lach-to Ah-sher Ah-sah Va’yish-bo-t Ba-yom Hash-ve-ee Mi-cal M’lach-to Ah-sher Ah-sah. Vay-va-reck Elohem Et Yom Ha-sh-ve-ee Vay-cha-da-sh O-toe Ki Vo Shabbat Mi-cal M’lach-toe. Ah-sher Ba-ra Elohem La-ah-sot

 

 THUS THE HEAVENS AND THE EARTH WERE FINISHED, AND ALL THE HOST OF THEM.  AND ON THE SEVENTH DAY GOD ENDED HIS WORK WHICH HE HAD MADE; AND HE RESTED ON THE SEVENTH DAY FROM ALL HIS WORK WHICH HE HAD MADE.AND GOD BLESSED THE SEVENTH DAY, AND SANCTIFIED IT: BECAUSE THAT IN IT HE HAD RESTED FROM ALL HIS WORK WHICH GOD CREATED AND MADE.
