Where in the Bible does it tell to do bathing before the sabbath begins?

The Bible makes various references to bathing... especially in Leviticus. So, while the Bible does advocate general personal hygiene and cleanliness... there's no commandment for the general populace to bathe for the Sabbath.
Nor should there be any need for a commandment to appear before the Lord on the Sabbath "scrubbed and clean." It should be common sense and courtesy to clean oneself daily just to be around people. That way, you'll always be prepared for the Lord in that regard.
Jewish AnswerThe Tanach (Jewish Bibloe) doesn't specify that one must bathe before Shabbat starts. However, during Shabbat, fires can't be started, water can't be heated from cold, and electricity can't be turned on unless it is done passively according to Jewish law. These prohibitions would require one to take a cold shower or bathe which isn't very comfortable at all.

On which day does the Jewish sabbath begin?
In Judaism, based on Genesis ch.1 and Leviticus 23:32, all days including the Sabbath last from sunset to sunset. In actual practice, we begin our Shabbat a short time before sunset (on Friday) and end it after twilight on Saturday. This is done for several reasons and is a little longer than the actual Biblical day of Sabbath.
How long does it take Jewish people to read their whole bible at their sabbath service?
The whole Bible is not read at the Sabbath service. The prayers include many selections from the Psalms, and those don't change. The public reading of the Torah ... the first five books ... is the centerpiece of the Sabbath morning service. There is a standard format of divisions according to which the entire Torah is read in the course of one year. The conclusion and the beginning are both read during the joyous service on the last day of the Fall holiday of Sukkot. There is also a 3-year cycle of Torah reading practiced by some congregations.
Why is the Christian Sabbath different from the Jewish Sabbath?
Christians originally observed the Jewish Sabbath of Saturday. When the Roman emperor Constantine reversed the previous Roman policy of persecuting Christianity, and instead offered to sponsor the church (he saw it as a potential unifying and rallying force for the weakening Roman Empire), it was with the provision that they would change their worship day from Saturday to Sunday, which was the Romans' traditional day of worship. The Roman Christians considered traditional Jewish law to have been set aside, could not see any special or compelling reason to keep the traditional Sabbath, believed Jesus had risen from the tomb on a Sunday, and wanted to see their religion finally legitimized in the Empire, so they agreed to the change. Christians have largely observed the Sunday Sabbath ever since. Furthermore, the Catholic church claims, that she has by her "Divine Authority" changed the Sabbath from Saturday to Sunday. Read the Convert's Catechism. They cahnged the Sabbath to allow the pagans who were comin ginto the church to feel comfortable and continue worshipping on the day of the Sun. The Catholic church also admits that there is NO biblical basis whatsoever for this change. If you are a Christian, and you are following the bible and the Bible alone, then you should be keeping the "Jewish" Sabbath, which is the Sabbath of all mankind.
