Exodus 31:12-14

Good News Translation

Sabbath, the Day of Rest

¹² The Lord commanded Moses ¹³ to tell the people of Israel, “Keep the Sabbath, my day of rest, because it is a sign between you and me for all time to come, to show that I, the Lord, have made you my own people. ¹⁴ You must keep the day of rest, because it is sacred. Whoever does not keep it, but works on that day, is to be put to death.
