"You are to speak to the people of Israel and say, 'Above all you shall keep my Sabbaths, for this is a sign between me and you throughout your generations, that you may know that I, Yehovah , sanctify you. You shall keep the Sabbath, because it is holy for you. Everyone who profanes it shall be put to death. Whoever does any work on it, that soul shall be cut off from among his people. 6 days shall work be done, but the 7th day is a Sabbath of solemn rest, holy to the LORD. Whoever does any work on the Sabbath day shall be put to death. Thereforethe people of Israel shall keep the Sabbath, observing the Sabbath throughout their generations, as a covenant forever.
It is a signforever between me and the people of Israel that in 6 days Yehovah made heaven and earth, and on the 7th day he rested and was refreshed.'"

The Lost Books of the Bible
The Real Apocrypha
One of the
best kept theological secrets is that the Bible used by the
modern Protestant Church is not the original King James Bible.
Only half of the
original Books of the Apocrypha are in the Catholic Bible
The Apocrypha fills a 400 year gap missing from the King James
Bible.
In the original 1611
King James Version, the translators cross-referenced
verses from "Apocrypha" books, in the margin notes.
In 1615 Archbishop Gorge
Abbott, an original translator, "forbade anyone to issue a
Bible without the Apocrypha on pain of one year's
imprisonment"
Until the late 19th
Century, most early Bibles contained the Apocrypha.
The Apocrypha was not
officially removed from the King James
Bible until 1885 by the Archbishop of Canterbury.
With the removal of the
Apocrypha, over 15%, or more than 155,000
of the original 930,000 words are missing from the bible
