Gemora Shabbos (10b) tells us that Hashem told to Moshe: מתנה טובה יש לי בבית גנזי ושבת שמה - “I have a good present in My treasure house, and its name is Shabbos”.

If you read this week’s parsha from a sefer Torah, you will see three words next to each other that can be read as “Shabbos is great for you.” Where are those three words?

Answer (from page 1): שבת לכם רב (Devorim 1:6) Although with the vowels, the words mean, “It’s enough for you to be settled,” without the vowels, the words can be read as “Shabbos is a great [gift] for you”.
