Showing how important proper Sabbath observance is to Him, God cited the ancient Israelites for "defiling" and "profaning" His Sabbaths. The Sabbath is holy time, to be dedicated to Him. How do we observe the Sabbath, and what attitude do we have toward it? Could we be guilty of defiling or profaning God's Sabbaths?
