^17 (A)It is a sign forever between me and the people of Israel that ^(B)in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, and ^(C)on the seventh day he rested and was refreshed.’”

^31 (A)And God saw everything that he had made, and behold, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day.

¹³ “You are to speak to the people of Israel and say, ‘Above all you shall keep my Sabbaths, for this is a sign between me and you throughout your generations, that you may know that I, the Lord, sanctify you.

² And ^(A)on the seventh day God finished his work that he had done, and he rested on the seventh day from all his work that he had done. ³ So God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it God rested from all his work that he had done in creation.

¹⁰ for whoever has entered God's rest has also ^(A)rested from his works as God did from his.

¹² Moreover, I gave them ^(A)my Sabbaths, as a sign between me and them, ^(B)that they might know that I am the Lord who sanctifies them.

³ For we who have believed enter that rest, as he has said,

although his works were finished from the foundation of the world. ⁴ For he has somewhere spoken of the seventh day in this way: ^(B)“And God rested on the seventh day from all his works.”

²⁰ and ^(A)keep my Sabbaths holy that ^(B)they may be a sign between me and you, that you may know that I am the Lord your God.’

^41 (A)I will rejoice in doing them good, ^(B)and I will plant them in this land in faithfulness, with all my heart and all my soul.
