Penalty for Violating the Sabbath(A)
32 Now while the children of Israel were in the wilderness, (B)they found a man gathering sticks on the Sabbath day. 33 And those who found him gathering sticks brought him to Moses and Aaron, and to all the congregation. 34 They put him (C)under guard, because it had not been explained what should be done to him.
35 Then the Lord said to Moses, (D)“The man must surely be put to death; all the congregation shall (E)stone him with stones outside the camp.” 36 So, as the Lord commanded Moses, all the congregation brought him outside the camp and stoned him with stones, and he died.

Isaiah 58:13-14
New King James Version
13 “If (A)you turn away your foot from the Sabbath,
From doing your pleasure on My holy day,
And call the Sabbath a delight,
The holy day of the Lord honorable,
And shall honor Him, not doing your own ways,
Nor finding your own pleasure,
Nor speaking your own words,
14 (B)Then you shall delight yourself in the Lord;
And I will cause you to (C)ride on the high hills of the earth,
And feed you with the heritage of Jacob your father.
(D)The mouth of the Lord has spoken.”
Isaiah 56:2-6
New King James Version
2 Blessed is the man who does this,
And the son of man who lays hold on it;
(A)Who keeps from defiling the Sabbath,
And keeps his hand from doing any evil.”
3 Do not let (B)the son of the foreigner
Who has joined himself to the Lord
Speak, saying,
“The Lord has utterly separated me from His people”;
Nor let the (C)eunuch say,
“Here I am, a dry tree.”
4 For thus says the Lord:
“To the eunuchs who keep My Sabbaths,
And choose what pleases Me,
And hold fast My covenant,
5 Even to them I will give in (D)My house
And within My walls a place (E)and a name
Better than that of sons and daughters;
I will give [a]them an everlasting name
That shall not be cut off.
6 “Also the sons of the foreigner
Who join themselves to the Lord, to serve Him,
And to love the name of the Lord, to be His servants—
Everyone who keeps from defiling the Sabbath,
And holds fast My covenant—

12 (A)‘Observe the Sabbath day, to [a]keep it holy, as the Lord your God commanded you. 13 (B)Six days you shall labor and do all your work, 14 but the seventh day is the (C)Sabbath of the Lord your God. In it you shall do no work: you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your ox, nor your donkey, nor any of your cattle, nor your stranger who is within your gates, that your male servant and your female servant may rest as well as you. 15 (D)And remember that you were a slave in the land of Egypt, and the Lord your God brought you out from there (E)by a mighty hand and by an outstretched arm; therefore the Lord your God commanded you to keep the Sabbath day.
