ΣΑΒΑΤʼ, σαβατʼ

SABATʼ, sabatʼ

Sounds Like: SAH-baht

Translations: Sabbath, a Sabbath, (of) the Sabbath, (on) the Sabbath, (on) a Sabbath, 504

From the root: ΣΑΒΒΑΤΟΝ

Part of Speech: Noun, Numeral

Explanation: This word, ΣΑΒΑΤʼ, is most likely a misspelling or a variant spelling of ΣΑΒΒΑΤΟΝ (Sabbaton), which refers to the Sabbath day, a day of rest and religious observance for Jews. It can also refer to a week, as the Sabbath marked the end of a week. The final apostrophe (keraia) could indicate that the letters are being used as a numeral. In this case, ΣΑΒΑΤʼ would represent the number 504 (Sigma=200, Alpha=1, Beta=2, Alpha=1, Tau=300). However, given the context of ancient Greek texts, it is far more probable that it is an orthographic variation or a scribal error for ΣΑΒΒΑΤΟΥ, the genitive form of ΣΑΒΒΑΤΟΝ, or a nominative/accusative form like ΣΑΒΒΑΤΟΝ itself, especially since ancient manuscripts often lacked diacritics and had variations in spelling. Therefore, its primary meaning is related to the Sabbath.

Inflection: Singular, Nominative or Accusative (as Sabbath), or Singular, Genitive (as Sabbath), or Numeral
