¹³“But as for you, speak to the sons of Israel, saying, ‘^aYou shall surely observe My sabbaths; for this is ^ba sign between Me and you throughout your generations, that you may know that I am the Lord who sanctifies you.

¹⁴‘Therefore you are to observe the sabbath, for it is holy to you. ^aEveryone who profanes it shall surely be put to death; for whoever does any work on it, that person shall be cut off from among his people.

¹⁵‘^aFor six days work may be done, but on the seventh day there is a ^bsabbath of complete rest, holy to the Lord; ^cwhoever does any work on the sabbath day shall surely be put to death.

¹⁶‘So the sons of Israel shall observe the sabbath, to ¹celebrate the sabbath throughout their generations as a perpetual covenant.’

¹⁷“^aIt is a sign between Me and the sons of Israel forever; ^bfor in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, but on the seventh day He ceased from labor, and was refreshed.”

¹⁸When He had finished speaking with him upon Mount Sinai, He gave Moses ^athe two tablets of the testimony, tablets of stone, ^bwritten by the finger of God.
