"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.
Therefore the people of Israel shall keep the Sabbath, observing the Sabbath throughout their generations, as a covenant forever.
It is a sign forever 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.'"
(Exodus 31:13-17)
