Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, labor was a significant part of daily life, whether in agriculture, craftsmanship, or other forms of work.

The Sabbath rest, as commanded in the Torah, provided a divine remedy for this weariness, emphasizing the need for rest and reliance on God.
