Revision as of 15:11, 10 October 2012
"Yom" is the Hebrew word for day.
The Hebrew names for the first six days of the week are just numeric: first day, second day, third day, etc.
"Sabbath" means "day of rest." In the Jewish Scriptures, called the "Old Testament" by Christians, the Commandment to "Keep Holy the Lord's Day" meant the Sabbath day, or Saturday in the pagan name-day system used in English.

| 4 | Yom revi'i | Wednesday | Woden |
