The Sign of the Sabbath

(Numbers 15:32–36)

12And the LORDH3068 saidH559 toH413 MosesH4872H559, 13“TellH1696H413 the IsraelitesH1121H3478H559, ‘SurelyH389 you must keepH8104 My SabbathsH7676, forH3588 thisH1931 will be a signH226 between MeH996 and youH996 for the generations to comeH1755, so that you may knowH3045 thatH3588 IH589 am the LORDH3068 who sanctifies youH6942. 14KeepH8104 the SabbathH7676, forH3588 itH1931 is holyH6944 to you. Anyone who profanes itH2490 must surely be put to deathH4191. WhoeverH3605 doesH6213 any workH4399 on that day must be cut offH3772 from amongH7130 his peopleH5971. 15For sixH8337 daysH3117 workH4399 may be doneH6213, but the seventhH7637 dayH3117 is a SabbathH7676 of complete restH7677, holyH6944 to the LORDH3068. WhoeverH3605 doesH6213 any workH4399 on the SabbathH7676 dayH3117 must surely be put to deathH4191.

16The IsraelitesH1121H3478 must keepH8104 the SabbathH7676, celebratingH6213 itH7676 as a permanentH5769 covenantH1285 for the generations to comeH1755. 17ItH1931 is a signH226 between MeH996 and the IsraelitesH1121H3478 foreverH5769; forH3588 in sixH8337 daysH3117 the LORDH3068 madeH6213 the heavensH8064 and the earthH776, but on the seventhH7637 dayH3117 He restedH7673 and was refreshedH5314.’”
