TSNTyndale Study Notes:

31:12-18 The Sabbath was understood to be the unique sign of the covenant (31:13, 16, 17; see also 20:8-11; Isa 58:13-14; Jer 17:21-27; Neh 13:15-22). The Sabbath is also said to figure significantly in the achievement of God’s underlying purpose of making his people holy, that is, set apart for his exclusive use and sharing his character (Exod 31:13, 14, 15). Resting from their own work (31:15, 17) was also a practical way of demonstrating genuine dependence on God to meet their needs (see 20:8-11 and study notes).


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וְ⁠שָׁמְר֥וּ בְנֵֽי־יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל אֶת־הַ⁠שַּׁבָּ֑ת

and,observe sons_of Yisrael DOM the,sabbath

Yahweh uses the phrase keep my Sabbaths as a metaphor for obeying his instructions about the Sabbath, as if it was a precious thing they should guard. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: “And the sons of Israel must obey Yahweh’s instructions about the Sabbath”

לְ⁠דֹרֹתָ֖⁠ם

throughout,generations,their

See how you translated “throughout their people’s generations” in Exodus 12:42. Alternate translation: “; they and all the generations of their descendants must observe it.”

בְּרִ֥ית עוֹלָֽם

covenant lasting

Alternate translation: “A covenant that will always exist” or “A lasting covenant”
