This is a name of a Levite preist in the old testiment-THE BOOK OF NEHEMIAH 11:16 -to be exact.
What is the Hebrew text of the name Shabbethai?
砖讘转讗讬 [with vowels: 砖讈址讘旨职转址讗讬]
It comes from the root sh.b.t (strike), most probably from the word "Shabbat"- sauturday (Shabtay is also the Hebrew name of the planet Saturn).
Sabbatai Zevi, the founder of the Jewish Sabbatean movement, is written 砖讘转讬 [without Aleph].
