Leviticus 19:30

Seventh-Day Sabbath Sabbath Commandment Sabbath as Perpetual

“Ye shall keep my sabbaths, and reverence my sanctuary: I am the Lord.”

Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print any marks upon you: I am the Lord.

Do not prostitute thy daughter, to cause her to be a whore; lest the land fall to whoredom, and the land become full of wickedness.

Ye shall keep my sabbaths, and reverence my sanctuary: I am the Lord.

Regard not them that have familiar spirits, neither seek after wizards, to be defiled by them: I am the Lord your God.

Thou shalt rise up before the hoary head, and honour the face of the old man, and fear thy God: I am the Lord.

Counter-Arguments

The strongest case that this verse does not belong in this theme.

Seventh-Day Sabbath

The verse mentions "sabbaths" in the plural, and does not explicitly reference the "seventh day" as the Sabbath or a rest day. It could refer to various holy days or periods of rest, not solely the weekly seventh-day Sabbath.

Sabbath Commandment

This verse explicitly states "Ye shall keep my sabbaths," directly presenting the Sabbath as a commandment, leaving no room for a counter-argument that it does not support the theme.

Sabbath as Perpetual

The verse commands the keeping of Sabbaths and reverence for the sanctuary, but it does not contain any language that explicitly or implicitly describes these commands as everlasting, perpetual, or a permanent sign. The statement "I am the Lord" serves as an authoritative declaration, not a descriptor of the duration of the commands.
