The Sabbath was marked, blessed, and sanctified before law, before Israel, and before sin. To be marked by Yahweh is to bear His signature—boundary, distinction, and consent. The Sabbath is called a sign (oth), meaning a signal and an agreement to come. It is not a rule regulating behavior, but a gate governing access. This is why confusion follows Sabbath loss: time fractures before people do.

The covenant between YHWH and His people is eternal! His laws are not separate from Him—they are His Divine Order.
