Commentators agree that the Sabbath was far more than just a day of rest; it was a 'sign' of the unique covenant relationship between God and Israel. Like a wedding ring, it was a visible pledge signifying that God had chosen and set them apart from all other nations. To profane the Sabbath was therefore seen as rejecting this special relationship with God Himself.
