Isaiah 56:2-6
New International Version
2 Blessed(A) is the one who does this—
the person who holds it fast,
who keeps the Sabbath(B) without desecrating it,
and keeps their hands from doing any evil.”
3 Let no foreigner(C) who is bound to the Lord say,
“The Lord will surely exclude me from his people.”(D)
And let no eunuch(E) complain,
“I am only a dry tree.”
4 For this is what the Lord says:
“To the eunuchs(F) who keep my Sabbaths,
who choose what pleases me
and hold fast to my covenant(G)—
5 to them I will give within my temple and its walls(H)
a memorial(I) and a name
better than sons and daughters;
I will give them an everlasting name(J)
that will endure forever.(K)
6 And foreigners(L) who bind themselves to the Lord
to minister(M) to him,
to love the name(N) of the Lord,
and to be his servants,
all who keep the Sabbath(O) without desecrating it
and who hold fast to my covenant—

14 “‘Observe the Sabbath, because it is holy to you. Anyone who desecrates it is to be put to death;(E) those who do any work on that day must be cut off from their people. 15 For six days work(F) is to be done, but the seventh day is a day of sabbath rest,(G) holy to the Lord. Whoever does any work on the Sabbath day is to be put to death. 16 The Israelites are to observe the Sabbath,(H) celebrating it for the generations to come as a lasting covenant. 17 It will be a sign(I) between me and the Israelites forever, for in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, and on the seventh day he rested and was refreshed.(J)’”(K)

New International Version
23 He said to them, “This is what the Lord commanded: ‘Tomorrow is to be a day of sabbath rest, a holy sabbath(A) to the Lord. So bake what you want to bake and boil what you want to boil. Save whatever is left and keep it until morning.’”
24 So they saved it until morning, as Moses commanded, and it did not stink or get maggots in it. 25 “Eat it today,” Moses said, “because today is a sabbath to the Lord. You will not find any of it on the ground today. 26 Six days you are to gather it, but on the seventh day, the Sabbath,(B) there will not be any.”
27 Nevertheless, some of the people went out on the seventh day to gather it, but they found none. 28 Then the Lord said to Moses, “How long will you[a] refuse to keep my commands(C) and my instructions? 29 Bear in mind that the Lord has given you the Sabbath; that is why on the sixth day he gives you bread for two days. Everyone is to stay where they are on the seventh day; no one is to go out.”
