²³ then he said to them, “This is what the Lord ^[a]meant: ^(A)Tomorrow is a Sabbath observance, a holy Sabbath to the Lord. Bake what you will bake and boil what you will boil, and ^(B)all that is left over ^[b]put aside to be kept until morning.” ²⁴ So they put it aside until morning, as Moses had ordered, and ^(C)it did not stink nor was there a maggot in it. ²⁵ Then Moses said, “Eat it today, for today is a Sabbath to the Lord; today you will not find it in the field. ^26 (D)Six days you shall gather it, but on the seventh day, the Sabbath, there will be ^[c]none.”

²⁷ Yet it came about on the seventh day that some of the people went out to gather, but they found none. ²⁸ Then the Lord said to Moses, “^(E)How long do you refuse to keep My commandments and My ^[d]instructions? ²⁹ See, ^[e]the Lord has given you the Sabbath; for that reason He gives you bread for two days on the sixth day. Remain, everyone, in his place; no one is to leave his place on the seventh day.” ³⁰ So the people rested on the seventh day.

⁸ “Remember ^(A)the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. ^9 (B)For six days you shall labor and do all your work, ¹⁰ but the seventh day is a Sabbath of the Lord your God; on it ^(C)you shall not do any work, you, or your son, or your daughter, your male slave or your female slave, or your cattle, or your ^[a]resident who ^[b]stays with you. ^11 (D)For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea and everything that is in them, and He rested on the seventh day; for that reason the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy.

¹³ “Now as for you, speak to the sons of Israel, saying, ‘^(A)You must keep My Sabbaths; for this is ^(B)a sign between Me and you throughout your generations, so that you may know that I am the Lord who sanctifies you. ¹⁴ Therefore you are to keep the Sabbath, for it is holy to you. ^(C)Everyone who profanes it must be put to death; for whoever does any work on it, that person shall be cut off from among his people. ^15 (D)For six days work may be done, but on the seventh day there is a ^(E)Sabbath of complete rest, holy to the Lord; ^(F)whoever does any work on the Sabbath day must be put to death. ¹⁶ So the sons of Israel shall keep the Sabbath, to ^[a]celebrate the Sabbath throughout their generations as a permanent covenant.’ ^17 (G)It is a sign between Me and the sons of Israel forever; ^(H)for in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, but on the seventh day He ceased from labor, and was refreshed.”

¹⁸ When He had finished speaking with him on Mount Sinai, He gave Moses ^(I)the two tablets of the testimony, tablets of stone, ^(J)written by the finger of God.

²⁷ Jesus said to them, “^(A)The Sabbath ^[a]was made ^[b]for man, and ^(B)not man ^[c]for the Sabbath. ²⁸ So the Son of Man is Lord, even of the Sabbath.”
