Exodus:31:12-18

*
And the Lord said unto Moses as followeth ,
*
And thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel ,
saying ,
Above all ,
my sabbaths shall ye keep ;
for a sign it is between me and you throughout your generations ;
that ye may know that I am the Lord who doth sanctify you .
*
And ye shall keep the sabbath ,
for it is holy unto you ;
every one that defileth it shall surely be put to death ;
for whosoever doeth any work thereon ,
that soul shall be cut off from among his people .
*
Six days may work be done ;
but on the seventh is the sabbath of rest ,
holy to the Lord :
whosoever doeth any work on the sabbath
day ,
shall surely be put to death .
*
And the children of Israel shall keep the sabbath ,
to observe the sabbath throughout their generations ,
for a perpetual covenant .
*
Between me and the children of Israel it shall be a sign for ever ;
for in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth ,
and on the seventh day he rested ,
and was refreshed :
*
And he gave unto Moses ,
when he had finished speaking with him upon mount Sinai ,
the two tables of the testimony ,
tables of stone ,
inscribed with the finger of God .
