The Sabbath begins at nightfall on Friday and lasts until nightfall on Saturday. In practical terms the Sabbath starts a few minutes before sunset on Friday and runs until an hour after sunset on Saturday, so it lasts about 25 hours.

What?
God commanded the Jewish People to observe the Sabbath and keep it holy as the fourth of the Ten Commandments.
The idea of a day of rest comes from the Bible story of the Creation: God rested from creating the universe on the seventh day of that first week, so Jews rest from work on the Sabbath.

Meaning
Jews often call the day Shabbat, which is Hebrew for Sabbath, and which comes from the Hebrew word for rest.
