"Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy" (Ten Commandments, Exodus 20)
To fulfil this, kiddush is recited: a prayer of sanctification over wine at the entry of Shabbat.

Translation
Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. And G-d had finished on the seventh day His work which He had made; and He rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had made. And G-d blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it; because that in it He had rested from all His work which G-d created to make.
With the permission of the masters (To life).
Blessed are You, Lord our G-d, who created the fruit of the vine.
Blessed are You, Lord our G-d, King of the Universe who has sanctified us with His commandments, and desired us, and in love and favour has given us as a heritage His holy Sabbath, as a memorial of the creation; the first of the holy convocations, in memory of the departure from Egypt; for You chose us and sanctified us above all peoples, and in love and favour have given us as a heritage Your holy Sabbath: blessed are You, Lord, who sanctifies the Sabbath.
Blessed be the Eternal who has given rest to His people Israel on the day of the Holy Sabbath.
