I will explain the Sabbath each week now during the coming holydays
This is how simple it is:
Exod. 20 [8] Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.
[9] Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:
[10] But the seventh day is the sabbath of Yehovah thy God:
in it thou shalt not
do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy
daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger
that is within thy gates:
[11] For in six days Yehovah made
heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day:
wherefore Yehovah blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.
Lev. 23 [3] Six days shall work be done:
but
the seventh day is the sabbath of rest, an holy convocation;
ye shall do no work therein:
it is the sabbath of Yehovah in all your dwellings.
--------
Isa. 58 [13] If thou turn away thy foot from the sabbath, from doing thy pleasure on my holy day; and call the sabbath a delight, the holy of Yehovah, honourable; and shalt honour him,
1 - not doing thine own ways,
2 - nor finding thine own pleasure,
3 - nor speaking thine own words:
[14] Then shalt thou delight thyself in Yehovah; and I will cause thee to ride upon the high places of the earth, and feed thee with the heritage of Jacob thy father: for the mouth of Yehovah hath spoken it.
------------------------
Buying and selling is evil on the Sabbath
Neh. 13 [16] There dwelt men of Tyre also therein, which brought fish, and all manner of ware, and sold on the sabbath unto the children of Judah, and in Jerusalem.
[17] Then I contended with the nobles of Judah, and said unto them, What evil thing is this that ye do, and profane the sabbath day?

Exod. 12
[15] Seven days shall ye eat unleavened bread; even the first day ye shall put away leaven out of your houses: for whosoever eateth leavened bread from the first day until the seventh day, that soul shall be cut off from Israel.
[16] And in the first day there shall be an holy convocation, and in the seventh day there shall be an holy convocation to you; no manner of work shall be done in them, save that which every man must eat, that only may be done of you.
[17] And ye shall observe the feast of unleavened bread; for in this selfsame day have I brought your armies out of the land of Egypt: therefore shall ye observe this day in your generations by an ordinance for ever.
[18] In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month at even, ye shall eat unleavened bread, until the one and twentieth day of the month at even.
[19] Seven days shall there be no leaven found in your houses: for whosoever eateth that which is leavened, even that soul shall be cut off from the congregation of Israel, whether he be a stranger, or born in the land.
[20] Ye shall eat nothing
leavened; in all your habitations shall ye eat unleavened bread.
---------------
Exod. 13
[1]
And the Yehovah spake unto
Moses, saying,
[2]
Sanctify unto me all the firstborn, whatsoever openeth
the womb among the children of Israel, both of man and of beast: it is mine.
[3] And Moses said unto the people, Remember
this day, in which ye came out from Egypt, out of the house of
bondage; for by strength of hand the Yehovah brought
you out from this place: there shall no leavened bread be eaten.
[4] This day came ye out in the month (ha Aviv) Abib.
[5]
And it shall be when the Yehovah shall bring thee
into the land of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, which
he sware unto thy fathers to give thee, a land
flowing with milk and honey, that thou shalt keep this service in this month.
[6] Seven days thou shalt eat unleavened bread, and in the seventh day shall be
a feast to the Yehovah.
[7] Unleavened bread shall be
eaten seven days; and there shall no leavened bread be seen with thee, neither
shall there be leaven seen with thee in all thy quarters.
[8]
And thou shalt shew thy son
in that day, saying, This is done because of that
which the Yehovah did unto me when I came forth out
of Egypt.
[9] And it shall be for a sign unto thee upon thine
hand, and for a memorial between thine eyes, that the
Yehovah's law may be in thy mouth: for with a strong
hand hath the Yehovah brought thee out of Egypt.
[10] Thou shalt therefore
keep this ordinance in his season from year to year.
---------------
Exod. 23
[14] Three times thou shalt keep a feast unto me in the year.
[15] Thou shalt keep the feast of unleavened bread: (thou shalt eat unleavened bread seven days, as I commanded thee, in the time appointed of the month Abib; for in it thou camest out from Egypt: and none shall appear before me empty:)
[16] And the feast of harvest, the firstfruits of thy labours, which thou hast sown in the field: and the feast of ingathering, which is in the end of the year, when thou hast gathered in thy labours out of the field.
[17]
Three times in the year all thy males shall appear before the Lord Yehovah.
---------------
Lev. 23
[1]
And the Yehovah spake unto
Moses, saying,
[2]
Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, Concerning the feasts of the Yehovah,
which ye shall proclaim to be holy convocations,
even these are my feasts.
[3] Six days shall work be done: but the seventh day is the sabbath of rest, an holy convocation; ye shall do no work therein: it is the sabbath of the Yehovah in all your dwellings.
[4] These are the feasts of the Yehovah, even holy convocations, which ye shall proclaim in their seasons.
[5] In the fourteenth day of the first month at even is the Yehovah's passover.
[6] And on the fifteenth day of the same month is the feast of unleavened bread unto the Yehovah: seven days ye must eat unleavened bread.
[7] In the first day ye shall have an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work therein.
[8]
But ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the Yehovah
seven days: in the seventh day is an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work therein.
---------------
Num. 9
[9] And the Yehovah spake unto Moses, saying, [10] Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If any man of you or of your posterity shall be unclean by reason of a dead body, or be in a journey afar off, yet he shall keep the passover unto the Yehovah.
[11] The fourteenth day of the second month at even they shall keep it, and eat it with unleavened bread and bitter herbs.
[12] They shall leave none of it unto the morning, nor
break any bone of it: according to all the ordinances of the passover they shall keep it.
---------------
Num.28
[1] And the Yehovah spake unto Moses, saying,
[2]
Command the children of Israel, and say unto them, My offering, and my bread
for my sacrifices made by fire, for a sweet savour
unto me, shall ye observe to offer unto me in their due season.
--
[16]
And in the fourteenth day of the first month is the passover of the Yehovah.
[17] And in the fifteenth day of this month is
the feast: seven days shall unleavened bread be eaten.
[18] In the first day shall be an holy convocation; ye shall do no manner of servile work therein:
[19]
But ye shall offer a sacrifice made by fire for a burnt offering unto the Yehovah; two young bullocks, and one ram, and seven lambs
of the first year: they shall be unto you without blemish:
[20] And their meat offering shall be of flour mingled with oil: three
tenth deals shall ye offer for a bullock, and two tenth deals for a ram;
[21] A several tenth deal shalt thou offer for
every lamb, throughout the seven lambs:
[22] And one goat for a sin offering, to make an atonement for you.
[23] Ye shall offer these beside the burnt offering in the morning,
which is for a continual burnt offering.
[24] After this manner ye shall offer daily, throughout the seven days,
the meat of the sacrifice made by fire, of a sweet savour
unto the Yehovah: it shall be offered beside the
continual burnt offering, and his drink offering.
[25] And on the seventh day ye shall have an holy convocation; ye shall do no servile work.
---------------
Deut. 16
[1] Observe the month of Abib,
and keep the passover unto
the Yehovah thy God: for in the month of Abib the Yehovah thy God brought
thee forth out of Egypt by night.
[2] Thou shalt therefore
sacrifice the passover unto
the Yehovah thy God, of the flock and the herd, in
the place which the Yehovah shall choose to place his
name there.
[3] Thou shalt eat no leavened bread with it; seven days shalt thou eat unleavened bread therewith, even the bread of affliction; for thou camest forth out of the land of Egypt in haste: that thou mayest remember the day when thou camest forth out of the land of Egypt all the days of thy life.
[4] And there shall be no leavened bread seen with thee in all thy coast seven days; neither shall there anything of the flesh, which thou sacrificedst the first day at even, remain all night until the morning.
[5] Thou mayest not sacrifice
the passover within any of thy gates, which the Yehovah thy God giveth thee:
[6] But at the place which the Yehovah
thy God shall choose to place his name in, there thou shalt
sacrifice the passover at even, at the going down of
the sun, at the season that thou camest forth out of
Egypt.
[7] And thou shalt roast and eat it in the place
which the Yehovah thy God shall choose: and thou shalt turn in the morning, and go unto thy tents.
[8] Six days thou shalt eat unleavened bread: and on the seventh day shall be a solemn assembly to the Yehovah thy God: thou shalt do no work therein.

2 Chr. 30 Hezekiah kept the Passover
[1]
And Hezekiah sent to all Israel and Judah, and wrote letters also to
Ephraim and Manasseh, that they should come to the house of the Yehovah at Jerusalem, to keep
the passover unto the Yehovah God of Israel.
[2]
For the king had taken counsel, and his princes, and all the
congregation in Jerusalem, to keep the passover in
the second month.
[3] For they could not keep it at that time, because the priests had not
sanctified themselves sufficiently, neither had the people gathered themselves
together to Jerusalem.
[4] And the thing pleased the king and all the
congregation.
[5] So they established a decree to make proclamation throughout all
Israel, from Beer-sheba even to Dan, that they should
come to keep the passover
unto the Yehovah God of Israel at Jerusalem: for they
had not done it of a long time in such sort as it was written.
[6] So the posts went with the letters from the king and his princes
throughout all Israel and Judah, and according to the commandment of the king,
saying, Ye children of Israel, turn again unto the Yehovah
God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, and he will return to the remnant of you,
that are escaped out of the hand of the kings of Assyria.
[7] And be not ye like your fathers, and like
your brethren, which trespassed against the Yehovah
God of their fathers, who therefore gave them up to desolation, as ye see.
[8] Now be ye not stiffnecked, as your fathers
were, but yield yourselves unto the Yehovah, and
enter into his sanctuary, which he hath sanctified for ever: and serve the Yehovah your God, that the
fierceness of his wrath may turn away from you.
[9] For if ye turn again unto the Yehovah,
your brethren and your children shall find compassion before them that lead
them captive, so that they shall come again into this land: for the Yehovah your God is gracious and merciful, and will not
turn away his face from you, if ye return unto him.
[10] So the posts passed from city to city through the country of
Ephraim and Manasseh even unto Zebulun: but they
laughed them to scorn, and mocked them.
[11] Nevertheless divers of Asher and Manasseh and of Zebulun humbled themselves, and came to Jerusalem.
[12] Also in Judah the hand of God was to give them one heart to do the
commandment of the king and of the princes, by the word of the Yehovah.
[13]
And there assembled at Jerusalem much people to keep the feast of unleavened
bread in the second month, a very great congregation.
[14] And they arose and took away the altars that were in Jerusalem, and
all the altars for incense took they away, and cast
them into the brook Kidron.
[15] Then they killed the passover on the fourteenth day of the second month:
and the priests and the Levites were ashamed, and sanctified themselves, and
brought in the burnt offerings into the house of the Yehovah.
[16] And they stood in their place after their
manner, according to the law of Moses the man of God:
the priests sprinkled the blood, which they received of the hand of the
Levites.
[17] For there were many in the congregation that were
not sanctified: therefore the Levites had the charge of the killing of the passovers for every one that was not clean, to sanctify
them unto the Yehovah.
[18]
For a multitude of the people, even many of Ephraim, and Manasseh, Issachar,
and Zebulun, had not cleansed themselves, yet did
they eat the passover otherwise than it was written.
But Hezekiah prayed for them, saying, The good Yehovah
pardon every one
[19]
That prepareth his heart to seek God, the Yehovah God of his fathers, though he be not cleansed
according to the purification of the sanctuary.
[20] And the Yehovah hearkened to Hezekiah,
and healed the people.
[21] And the children of Israel that were present at Jerusalem kept the feast of unleavened bread seven days with great gladness: and the Levites and the priests praised the Yehovah day by day, singing with loud instruments unto the Yehovah.
[22] And Hezekiah spake comfortably unto all the Levites that taught the good knowledge of the Yehovah: and they did eat throughout the feast seven days, offering peace offerings, and making confession to the Yehovah God of their fathers.
[23] And the whole assembly took counsel to keep other seven days: and they kept other seven days with gladness.
[24]
For Hezekiah king of Judah did give to the congregation a thousand bullocks and
seven thousand sheep; and the princes gave to the congregation a thousand
bullocks and ten thousand sheep: and a great number of priests sanctified
themselves.
[25] And all the congregation of Judah, with the priests and the
Levites, and all the congregation that came out of
Israel, and the strangers that came out of the land of Israel, and that dwelt
in Judah, rejoiced.
[26] So there was great joy in Jerusalem: for since the time of Solomon
the son of David king of Israel there was not the like in Jerusalem.
[27] Then the priests the Levites arose and blessed the people: and
their voice was heard, and their prayer came up to his holy dwelling place,
even unto heaven.
---------------
2 Chr. 35 - Josiah kept the Passover
[1] Moreover Josiah kept a passover unto the Yehovah
in Jerusalem: and they killed the passover on the
fourteenth day of the first month.
[2] And he set the priests in their charges, and
encouraged them to the service of the house of the Yehovah,
[3]
And said unto the Levites that taught all Israel, which were holy unto the Yehovah, Put the holy ark in the house which Solomon the
son of David king of Israel did build; it shall not be a burden upon your
shoulders: serve now the Yehovah your God, and his
people Israel,
[4] And prepare yourselves by the houses of your fathers, after your courses,
according to the writing of David king of Israel, and according to the writing
of Solomon his son.
[5] And stand in the holy place according to the divisions of the families of
the fathers of your brethren the people, and after the division of the families
of the Levites.
[6] So kill the passover,
and sanctify yourselves, and prepare your brethren, that they may do according
to the word of the Yehovah by the hand of Moses.
[7] And Josiah gave to the people, of the flock, lambs and kids, all for the passover offerings, for all that
were present, to the number of thirty thousand, and three thousand bullocks:
these were of the king's substance.
[8] And his princes gave willingly unto the people, to the priests, and to the
Levites: Hilkiah and Zechariah and Jehiel, rulers of the house of God, gave unto the priests
for the passover offerings
two thousand and six hundred small cattle, and three hundred oxen.
[9] Conaniah also, and Shemaiah
and Nethaneel, his brethren, and Hashabiah
and Jeiel and Jozabad,
chief of the Levites, gave unto the Levites for passover
offerings five thousand small cattle, and five hundred oxen.
[10] So the service was prepared, and the priests stood in their place, and the
Levites in their courses, according to the king's commandment.
[11] And they killed the passover,
and the priests sprinkled the blood from their hands, and the Levites flayed
them.
[12] And they removed the burnt offerings, that they
might give according to the divisions of the families of the people, to offer
unto the Yehovah, as it is written in the book of
Moses. And so did they with the oxen.
[13] And they roasted the passover
with fire according to the ordinance: but the other holy offerings sod they in
pots, and in caldrons, and in pans, and divided them speedily among all the
people.
[14] And afterward they made ready for themselves, and for the priests: because
the priests the sons of Aaron were busied in offering
of burnt offerings and the fat until night; therefore the Levites prepared for
themselves, and for the priests the sons of Aaron.
[15] And the singers the sons of Asaph were in their
place, according to the commandment of David, and Asaph,
and Heman, and Jeduthun the
king's seer; and the porters waited at every gate; they might not depart from
their service; for their brethren the Levites prepared for them.
[16] So all the service of the Yehovah was prepared
the same day, to keep the passover,
and to offer burnt offerings upon the altar of the Yehovah,
according to the commandment of king Josiah.
[17] And the children of Israel that were present kept the passover at that time, and the feast of unleavened bread seven days.
[18] And there was no passover like to that kept in Israel from the days of Samuel the prophet; neither did all the kings of Israel keep such a passover as Josiah kept, and the priests, and the Levites, and all Judah and Israel that were present, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
[19] In the eighteenth year of the reign of
Josiah was this passover
kept.
[20]
After all this, when Josiah had prepared the temple, Necho
king of Egypt came up to fight against Carchemish by Euphrates: and Josiah went
out against him.
[21] But he sent ambassadors to him, saying, What have
I to do with thee, thou king of Judah? I come not against thee this day, but
against the house wherewith I have war: for God commanded me to make haste:
forbear thee from meddling with God, who is with me, that he destroy
thee not.
[22] Nevertheless Josiah would not turn his face from him, but disguised
himself, that he might fight with him, and hearkened not unto the words of Necho from the mouth of God, and came to fight in the
valley of Megiddo.
[23] And the archers shot at king Josiah; and the king said to his servants,
Have me away; for I am sore wounded.
[24] His servants therefore took him out of that chariot, and put him in the
second chariot that he had; and they brought him to Jerusalem, and he died, and
was buried in one of the sepulchres of his fathers.
And all Judah and Jerusalem mourned for Josiah.
[25] And Jeremiah lamented for Josiah: and
all the singing men and the singing women spake of
Josiah in their lamentations to this day, and made them an ordinance in Israel:
and, behold, they are written in the lamentations.
[26]
Now the rest of the acts of Josiah, and his goodness, according to that which
was written in the law of the Yehovah,
[27]
And his deeds, first and last, behold, they are written in the book of the
kings of Israel and Judah.

Ezra 6
[14]
And the elders of the Jews builded, and they
prospered through the prophesying of Haggai the prophet and Zechariah the son
of Iddo. And they builded,
and finished it, according to the commandment of the God of Israel, and
according to the commandment of Cyrus, and Darius, and Artaxerxes
king of Persia.
[15] And this house was finished on the third day of the month Adar,
which was in the sixth year of the reign of Darius the king.
[16] And the children of Israel, the priests, and the Levites, and the
rest of the children of the captivity, kept the dedication of this house of God
with joy,
[17]
And offered at the dedication of this house of God an hundred bullocks, two
hundred rams, four hundred lambs; and for a sin offering for all Israel, twelve
he goats, according to the number of the tribes of Israel.
[18] And they set the priests in their divisions, and the Levites in
their courses, for the service of God, which is at Jerusalem; as it is written
in the book of Moses.
[19] And the children of the captivity kept the passover upon the fourteenth day of the first month.
[20] For the priests and the Levites were purified together, all of them
were pure, and killed the passover
for all the children of the captivity, and for their brethren the priests, and
for themselves.
[21] And the children of Israel, which were come again out of captivity,
and all such as had separated themselves unto them from the filthiness of the
heathen of the land, to seek the Yehovah God of
Israel, did eat,
[22] And kept the feast of unleavened bread seven days with joy: for the Yehovah had made them joyful, and turned the heart of the king of Assyria unto them, to strengthen their hands in the work of the house of God, the God of Israel.

Ezek. 45
[18] Thus saith the Lord Yehovah; In the first month, in the first day of the month,
thou shalt take a young bullock without blemish, and
cleanse the sanctuary:
[19] And the priest shall take of the blood of the
sin offering, and put it upon the posts of the house, and upon the four corners
of the settle of the altar, and upon the posts of the gate of the inner court.
[20] And so thou shalt do the seventh day of
the month for every one that erreth, and for him that
is simple: so shall ye reconcile the house.
[21] In the first month, in the fourteenth day of the month, ye shall have the passover, a feast of seven days; unleavened bread shall be eaten.
[22] And upon that day shall the prince prepare for himself and for all the people of the land a bullock for a sin offering.
[23] And seven days of the feast he shall prepare a burnt offering to the Yehovah, seven bullocks and seven rams without blemish daily the seven days; and a kid of the goats daily for a sin offering.

Interesting verse
Gen. 19
[1]
And there came two angels to Sodom at even; and Lot sat in the gate of Sodom:
and Lot seeing them rose up to meet them; and he bowed himself with his face
toward the ground;
[2]
And he said, Behold now, my lords, turn in, I pray you, into your servant's
house, and tarry all night, and wash your feet, and ye shall rise up early, and
go on your ways. And they said, Nay; but we will abide
in the street all night.
[3] And he pressed upon them greatly; and they turned in unto him, and
entered into his house; and he made them a feast,
and did bake unleavened bread, and they did eat.
