Hmmm, Jewish day? Your Bible say something like this?
Exo 20:8 Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.
Exo 20:9 Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:
Exo 20:10 But the seventh day is the sabbath of the JEWS: 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:
Exo 20:11 For in six days the JEWS made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the JEWS blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.
Or this...
Lev 23:2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, Concerning the feasts of the JEWS, which ye shall proclaim to be holy convocations, even these are THEIR feasts.
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 the JEWS in all your dwellings.
Mine says this...
Exo 20:8 Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.
Exo 20:9 Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:
Exo 20:10 But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD 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:
Exo 20:11 For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.
Lev 23:2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, Concerning the feasts of the LORD, which ye shall proclaim to be holy convocations, even these are my feasts.
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 the LORD in all your dwellings.

You have to work hard - to get everything done before the vacation - so you may enjoy really it. But then I guess the book to the Hebrews were for the Hebrews and Hebrews only.
Now for the first day of the week opinion - if only the bible teaches that.
You don't see this? We are in a new Covenant, under new Priesthood and new Law after the death of Christ is when all this took place. Seeing the fine difference in the Law and the liberty of the Law is finite?
[h=3]Hebrews 9:15-17[/h]Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV)
[SUP]15 [/SUP]And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance. [SUP]16 [/SUP]For where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator. [SUP]17 [/SUP]For a testament is of force after men are dead: otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator liveth.
[h=3]Hebrews 7:11-12[/h]Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV)
[SUP]11 [/SUP]If therefore perfection were by the Levitical priesthood, (for under it the people received the law,) what further need was there that another priest should rise after the order of Melchisedec, and not be called after the order of Aaron? [SUP]12 [/SUP]For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law.
[h=3]Hebrews 7[/h]Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV)
7 For this Melchisedec, king of Salem, priest of the most high God, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings, and blessed him; [SUP]2 [/SUP]to whom also Abraham gave a tenth part of all; first being by interpretation King of righteousness, and after that also King of Salem, which is, King of peace; [SUP]3 [/SUP]without father, without mother, without descent, having neither beginning of days, nor end of life; but made like unto the Son of God; abideth a priest continually.
[SUP]4 [/SUP]Now consider how great this man was, unto whom even the patriarch Abraham gave the tenth of the spoils. [SUP]5 [/SUP]And verily they that are of the sons of Levi, who receive the office of the priesthood, have a commandment to take tithes of the people according to the law, that is, of their brethren, though they come out of the loins of Abraham: [SUP]6 [/SUP]but he whose descent is not counted from them received tithes of Abraham, and blessed him that had the promises. [SUP]7 [/SUP]And without all contradiction the less is blessed of the better. [SUP]8 [/SUP]And here men that die receive tithes; but there he receiveth them, of whom it is witnessed that he liveth. [SUP]9 [/SUP]And as I may so say, Levi also, who receiveth tithes, payed tithes in Abraham. [SUP]10 [/SUP]For he was yet in the loins of his father, when Melchisedec met him.
And once one sees the rest as in resting, even when working one is on vacation here in the flesh thanking God 24/7. reckoning self dead to sin by Christ's death in the flesh and alive to God in the Spirit of God by God from God, a free gift
So lewts work hard to enter that rest right here right now
There is a gigantic difference in working in and of the flesh verses the Spirit of God doing the works through the believer. Later part God doing the works as God did through Christ
John 14:10 Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.
We are, have been sent the Holy Spirit, to do what? Sit in us, hidden and we step out and do the works our self, checking back later with God?
Or are we to be led as Christ was led and do as led first, not later?
Love, God given through Son trumps all, Like an ace of spades does in the card game spades
