אַתָּה קִדַּֽשְׁתָּ אֶת יוֹם הַשְּׁ֒בִיעִי לִשְׁמֶךָ. תַּכְלִית מַעֲשֵׂה שָׁמַֽיִם וָאָֽרֶץ. וּבֵרַכְתּוֹ מִכָּל הַיָּמִים. וְקִדַּשְׁתּוֹ מִכָּל הַזְּ֒מַנִּים וְכֵן כָּתוּב בְּתוֹרָתֶֽךָ:

**Sefaria Community Translation:**
You have sanctified the seventh day²⁴ to Your Name, [it was] the purpose of making heaven and earth; and You blessed it above all days and You sanctified it above all seasons. And so it is written in Your Torah:

footnotes:
²⁴ The first three and the last three blessings of Shemoneh Esrei are identical in all Sabbath services as well as in the regular weekday Shemoneh Esrei. The intermediate blessing, however, differs in each of the four Sabbath services. The thirteen petitions which make up the intermediate blessings of the weekday Shemoneh Esrei are omitted because prayers for personal needs are not recited on the Sabbath and Festivals. In reciting such personal requests one is reminded of his troubles and shortcomings, and our Sabbaths are not to be desecrated by sadness and misery.

וַיְכֻלּוּ הַשָּׁמַֽיִם וְהָאָֽרֶץ וְכָל־צְבָאָם: וַיְכַל אֱלֹהִים בַּיּוֹם הַשְּׁ֒בִיעִי מְלַאכְתּוֹ אֲשֶׁר עָשָׂה. וַיִּשְׁבֹּת בַּיּוֹם הַשְּׁ֒בִיעִי מִכָּל־מְלַאכְתּוֹ אֲשֶׁר עָשָׂה: וַיְבָֽרֶךְ אֱלֹהִים אֶת־יוֹם הַשְּׁ֒בִיעִי וַיְקַדֵּשׁ אֹתוֹ. כִּי בוֹ שָׁבַת מִכָּל־מְלַאכְתּוֹ אֲשֶׁר־בָּרָא אֱלֹהִים לַעֲשׂוֹת:

**Sefaria Community Translation:**
And the heavens and the earth were completed and [so were] all their hosts.²⁵ And God completed by the seventh day²⁶ His work which He had done, and He abstained on the seventh day, from all His work which He had done. And God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it for on it He abstained from all His work which God had created to do.²⁷

footnotes:
²⁵ The earthly hosts include all vegetation, all the living creatures, and mankind; while the heavenly hosts are the sun, moon, all the stars, and even the celestial beings such as angels.—Ramban
²⁶ God completed His work at the precise instant that marked the beginning of the seventh day.—Seporno
²⁷ God in His goodness, renews every day, continually the work of creation. On the Sabbath, however, God ceased even from His work of renewal. The renewal of the creation designated for the Sabbath was itself prepared and completed on the eve of the Sabbath.—Vilna Gaon

Our God, and God of our fathers, be pleased with our rest, sanctify us with Your commandments and give us our share in Your Torah; satisfy us from Your goodness and gladden us with Your deliverance, and purify our hearts to serve You in truth. And give us as our inheritance, Adonoy our God, in love and in pleasure Your holy Shabbos; and may Israel rest thereon— the sanctifiers of Your Name. Blessed are You Adonoy, Sanctifier of Shabbos.
