¹⁷ It is ^(A)a sign between Me and the children of Israel forever; for ^(B)in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, and on the seventh day He rested and was refreshed.’ ”

³¹ Then ^(A)God saw everything that He had made, and indeed it was very good. So the evening and the morning were the sixth day.

¹³ “Speak also to the children of Israel, saying: ^(A)‘Surely My Sabbaths you shall keep, for it is a sign between Me and you throughout your generations, that you may know that I am the Lord who ^(B)sanctifies^[a] you.

^2 (A)And on the seventh day God ended His work which He had done, and He rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had done. ³ Then God ^(B)blessed the seventh day and sanctified it, because in it He rested from all His work which God had created and made.

¹⁰ For he who has entered His rest has himself also ceased from his works as God did from His.

¹² Moreover I also gave them My ^(A)Sabbaths, to be a sign between them and Me, that they might know that I am the Lord who sanctifies them.

³ For we who have believed do enter that rest, as He has said:

although the works were finished from the foundation of the world. ⁴ For He has spoken in a certain place of the seventh day in this way: ^(B)“And God rested on the seventh day from all His works”;

^20 (A)hallow My Sabbaths, and they will be a sign between Me and you, that you may know that I am the Lord your God.’

⁴¹ Yes, ^(A)I will rejoice over them to do them good, and ^(B)I will ^[a]assuredly plant them in this land, with all My heart and with all My soul.’
