The ancient institution of the Sabbath which has persisted throughoutthe centuries and to this very day defines the identity, religious andcultural practices of the Jewish community. This study aims to offer amore accurate description of the literary and redaction history of theSabbath commandments in the Bible from the perspective of theinner-biblical interpretation, and to understand the theological andintellectual endeavour of scribes, who were responsible for thedifferent redactional layers. Hence, the Sabbath commandments arepresented against the time span of 'exile and return' spread over theNeo-Babylonian and Persian periods. In the final part, the Sabbath isdiscussed as identity marker: How did it function as identity marker, self-understanding and self-definition of the exiled Judean group? Whatwas the role of the Sabbath day in the identity building strategies ofthe biblical authors in general? How is this perception reflected by theSabbath commandments?
