1. SABAOTH, SABBATHnoun

   Etymology: An Hebrew word signifying rest; sabbat, French; sabatum, Latin.

   1. A day appointed by God among the Jews, and from them established among Christians for publick worship; the seventh day set apart from works of labour to be employed in piety.

   Holy Lord God of sabaoth. Common Prayer.

   I purpose,
   And by our holy sabbath have I sworn,
   To have the due and forfeit of my bond. William Shakespeare.

   Glad we return’d up to the coasts of light,
   Ere sabbath ev’ning. John Milton.

   Here ev’ry day was sabbath: only free
   From hours of pray’r, for hours of charity,
   Such as the Jews from servile toil releast,
   Where works of mercy were a part of rest:
   Such as blest angels exercise above,
   Vary’d with sacred hymns and acts of love;
   Such sabbaths as that one she now enjoys,
   Ev’n that perpetual one, which she employs:
   For such vicissitudes in heav’n there are,
   In praise alternate, and alternate pray’r. Dryden.

   2. Intermission of pain or sorrow; time of rest.

   Never any sabbath of release
   Could free his travels and afflictions deep. Samuel Daniel, C. War.

   Nor can his blessed soul look down from heav’n,
   Or break th’ eternal sabbath of his rest,
   To see her miseries on earth. Dryden.

   Peaceful sleep out the sabbath of the tomb,
   And wake to raptures in a life to come. Alexander Pope.

1. sabaoth

   Judaism considers some names of God so holy that, once written, they should not be erased: YHWH, Adonai, El ("God"), Elohim ("God," a plural noun), Shaddai ("Almighty"), and Tzevaot ("[of] Hosts"); some also include Ehyeh ("I Will Be"). Early authorities considered other Hebrew names mere epithets or descriptions of God, and wrote that they and names in other languages may be written and erased freely. Some moderns advise special care even in these cases, and many Orthodox Jews have adopted the chumras of writing "G-d" instead of "God" in English or saying Ṭēt-Vav (טו, lit. "9-6") instead of Yōd-Hē (יה, lit. "10-5" but also "Jah") for the number fifteen or Ṭēt-Zayin (טז, lit. "9-7") instead of Yōd-Vav (יו, lit. "10-6") for the number sixteen in Hebrew.
