*
And the LORD spake unto Moses ,
saying ,
*
Speak thou also unto the children of Israel ,
saying ,
Verily my sabbaths ye shall keep :
for it is a sign between me and you throughout your generations ;
that ye may know that I am the LORD that doth sanctify you .
*
Ye shall keep the sabbath therefore ;
for it is holy unto you :
every one that defileth it shall surely be put to death :
for whosoever doeth any work therein ,
that soul shall be cut off from among his people .
*
Six days may work be done ;
but in the seventh is the sabbath of rest ,
holy to the LORD :
whosoever doeth any work in the sabbath day ,
he shall surely be put to death .
*
Wherefore the children of Israel shall keep the sabbath ,
to observe the sabbath throughout their generations ,
for a perpetual covenant .
*
It is a sign between me and the children of Israel for ever :
for in six days the LORD made heaven and earth ,
and on the seventh day he rested ,
and was refreshed .
