According to Marcello Craveri, Sabbath "was almost certainly derived from the Babylonian Shabattu, the festival of the full moon, but, all trace of any such origin having been lost, the Hebrews ascribed it to Biblical legend."
Menurut Marcello Craveri, hari Sabat "hampir pasti berasal dari kata Babilonia Shabattu, festival bulan purnama, tapi, semua jejak apapun dari asal tersebut telah hilang, orang Ibrani menyatakannya sebagai legenda Alkitab."
