““has a numerical value of 702 and means to bond. This time of resting is meant to bond with God. You don’t bond with God by worrying or fretting over the pressures and problems of the past week. You bond with God by wandering through the Alphabet. The word shabat is spelled “Shin, Beth, and Taw.” In Hebrew, every word is built upon a three-letter root word. Some words are interrelated when they share the same first two letters. In this case, the first two letters of Shabat are Shin, Beth. All the other words that start with Shin and Beth will in some way related to the Shin Beth Taw or rest. Twelve other words in Hebrew begin with Shin Beth. In other words, we are to take one day a week and rest or cease from our normal activity to do twelve things. When you celebrate the Sabbath next Sunday or Saturday or whichever day you celebrate the Sabbath, remember the twelve other Shin Beth words which tell you what you are to do or what God wishes to accomplish on this seventh day that you cease from your normal activity.””
