8 ⁿ“Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. 9 ^oSix days you shall labor, and do all your work, 10 but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the Lord your God. On it you shall not do any work, you, or your son, or your daughter, your male servant, or your female servant, or your livestock, or the sojourner who is within your gates. 11 For ^pin six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and ^qrested on the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy.

The Sabbath

12 And the Lord said to Moses, 13 “You are to speak to the people of Israel and say, ^x‘Above all you shall keep ^ymy Sabbaths, for this is a sign between me and you throughout your generations, that you may know that I, the Lord, sanctify you. 14 You shall keep the Sabbath, because it is holy for you. Everyone who ^zprofanes it shall be put to death. Whoever does any work on it, that soul shall be ^acut off from among his people. 15 ^bSix days shall work be done, but the seventh day is a Sabbath of solemn rest, holy to the Lord. Whoever does any work on the Sabbath day shall be put to death. 16 Therefore the people of Israel shall keep the Sabbath, observing the Sabbath throughout their generations, as a ^ccovenant forever. 17 It is a sign forever between me and the people of Israel that in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, and ^don the seventh day he rested and was refreshed.’”
