The Sign of the Sabbath

12The LordH3068 spokeH559 to MosesH4872, sayingH559, 13“But as for you, speakH1696 to the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478, sayingH559, ‘30You shall surelyH389 observeH8104 My sabbathsH7676; for this is 31a signH226 betweenH996 Me and you throughout your generationsH1755, that you may knowH3045 that I am the LordH3068 who sanctifiesH6942 you. 14Therefore you are to observeH8104 the sabbathH7676, for it is holyH6944 to you. 32Everyone who profanesH2490 it shall surelyH4191 be putH4191 to deathH4191; for whoeverH3605 doesH6213 anyH3605 workH4399 on it, that personH5315 shall be cutH3772 offH3772 from amongH7130 his peopleH5971. 1533For sixH8337 daysH3117 workH4399 may be doneH6213, but on the seventhH7637 dayH3117 there is a 34sabbathH7676 of completeH7677 restH7677, holyH6944 to the LordH3068; 35whoeverH3605 doesH6213 anyH3605 workH4399 on the sabbathH7676 dayH3117 shall surelyH4191 be putH4191 to deathH4191. 16So the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 shall observeH8104 the sabbathH7676, to 36celebrateH6213 the sabbathH7676 throughout their generationsH1755 as a perpetualH5769 covenantH1285.’ 1737It is a signH226 betweenH996 Me and the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 foreverH5769; 38for in sixH8337 daysH3117 the LordH3068 madeH6213 heavenH8064 and earthH776, but on the seventhH7637 dayH3117 He ceasedH7673 from labor, and was refreshedH5314.”

18When He had finishedH3615 speakingH1696 with him upon MountH2022 SinaiH5514, He gaveH5414 MosesH4872 39the twoH8147 tabletsH3871 of the testimonyH5715, tabletsH3871 of stoneH68, 40writtenH3789 by the fingerH676 of GodH430.
