The rest day

Exo 31:12–18

31:12 The rest day

12Then Yahweh told Mosheh: 13Tell the Israelis that you all must certainly observe the weekly rest day because the rest day is a sign between me and you all throughout your generations, so that you will know that I am Yahweh, who wants to distinguish you from other nations. 14So you all must observe the rest day because it’s sacred for you. Anyone who treats it as an ordinary day must be put to death. Anyone who works on it must be expelled from the community. 15There’s six days for working, and then the seventh is a rest day—dedicated to me. Anyone who works on it must certainly be put to death.[ref] 16The Israelis must observe the rest day for all future generations. There’s no ending to this agreement 17between me and the Israelis. It’s a never-ending sign that I made the heavens and the earth in six days, and then rested on the seventh day and was refreshed.[ref]

18When Yahweh finished speaking to Mosheh, he gave Mosheh the two stone slabs with the transcript that he had engraved on them with his own finger.
