The article seeks to rescue the uniquely Jewish conception we know as the (Sabbatical) week from the obscurity caused, ironically, by its own success. It demonstrates how the deliberate interference of the week with natural timekeeping is both a part of the broader revolutionary theological message of Judaism and a key to unlocking a number of difficult passages in the Bible. In particular, this key is used to gain a new understanding of the relationship between the Shabbat, the Sabbatical week, and another bedrock element of Judaism - the Exodus.
