Why not? The Sabbth is all through HEBREWS 4...
HEBREWS 4:3, For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into
my rest:
although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.
HEBREWS 4:4,
For he spoke in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise, And God did rest the seventh day from all his works.
Key points...
1. v3
GOD'S REST from the
FOUNDATION of the WORLD
2. v4 For he spoke in a certain place of the
seventh day on this wise, And God did rest the
seventh day from all his works.
Both scriptures are a direct reference from
GENESIS 2:1-3..
GENESIS 2:1-3
1, Thus the
heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.
2, And on the
seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he
rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.
3, And God
blessed the seventh day, and
sanctified it: because that in it he had
rested from all his work which God created and made.

EXODUS 20:8-11
[8], Remember the
SABBATH DAY, to
KEEP IT HOLY. <Why?> Because God made it Holy for mankind and commands us to keep it as a Holy day;
GENESIS 2:3)
[9], Six days shalt thou labor, and do all thy work:
[10], But the
SEVENTH DAY IS THE SABBATH of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: <WHY ? KEY v 11>
[11], For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, AND
RESTED ON THE SEVENTH DAY: wherefore the LORD
BLESSED THE SABBATH, AND MADE IT HOLY.
<DIRECT QUOTE FROM GENESIS 2:1-3>
...................
Moving on in HEBREWS 4...
HEBREWS 4:9 [9], There remains a
SABBATH REST <REST G4521 Sabatismos;
a keeping of a SABBATH>
to the people of God.
The GREEK word for REST in
HEBREWS 4:9 is
"Sabatismos" the GREEK meaning G4520 σαββατισμός sabbatismos (sab-ba-tiz-mos') n. 1. a “sabbatism.” 2. (figuratively) the repose of Christianity (as a type of heaven) from a derivative of G4521 σάββατον sabbaton (saɓ'-ɓa-ton) n. 1.
the Sabbath (i.e. Shabbath). 2.
a day of weekly repose from secular avocations. 3.
the observance or institution itself. 4. (by extension) a week, i.e. the
interval between two Sabbaths. 5. likewise the plural in all the above applications. [of Hebrew origin (H7676)] שַׁבָּת
shabbath (shab-bawth') n-e. 1. intermission, a period of temporary rest. 2. (specifically)
the Sabbath, the
seventh day being the day of rest.
The purpose for sharing these words was to show that the
ORIGIN of God's 4th Commandment (like the scripture posts in the above section of this post all these word meaning have their
ORIGIN from GENESIS 2:1-3 AND THE HEBREW ROOT WORD IN REST (H7673)
which is SHABATH (verb) which means; to repose
, i.e. to cease from exertion.{used in many implied relations (causative, figurative or specific)}[a primitive root]KJV: (cause to, let, make to) cease, celebrate, cause (make) to fail, KEEP SABBATH, suffer to be lacking, leave, put away (down), (make to) rest, rid, still, take away.
On the other hand the HEBREW WORD for Sabbath in
EXODUS 20:8-11 means the interval (noun) between SHABATH (interval of REST) or from one SABBATH to another (EVERY SEVENTH DAY)
GENESIS 2:1-3 connects directly to God's 4th COMMANDMENT from
EXODUS 20:8-11 as shown above.
Not only do the scripture ORIGINS trace back to
GENESIS 2:1-3 and the creation week for God's 4th Commandment Sabbath so do the GREEK and HEBREW word meanings show the ORIGIN of SABBATH is the REST found in
GENESIS 2.
Now if we look at the literal GREEK from the Interlinear of
