Question

Why would the Sabbath(rest day) be a benefit of an agricultural society consisting of servants and slaves?

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Sabbath is the seventh and sacred day of the week according to Hebrew and Shemitah tradition. That day was reserved for rest and worship only. The fact that agricultural societies -such as ancient Egypt- had adopted this kind of tradition was beneficial to remove the lordship and rule of man over the slaves.
