10. But the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou
shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, nor thy
man-servant, nor thy maid-servant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger
that is within thy gates:
11. For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all
that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the Lord
blessed the Sabbath day, and hallowed it.
EX. XXIII, 12. Six days thou shalt do thy work, and on the seventh day
thou shalt rest; that thine ox and thine ass may rest, and the son of
thy handmaid and the stranger may be refreshed.
JER. XVII, 21. Thus saith the Lord; Take heed to yourselves, and bear
no burden on the Sabbath day, nor bring it in by the gates of
Jerusalem;
22. Neither carry forth a burden out of your houses on the Sabbath
day, neither do ye any work, but hallow ye the Sabbath day, as I
commanded your fathers.
EX. XVI, 23. And he said unto them, This is that which the Lord hath
said, To-morrow is the rest of the holy Sabbath unto the Lord: bake
that which ye will bake to-day, and seethe that ye will seethe; and
that which remaineth over lay up for you to be kept until the morning.
24. And they laid it up till the morning, as Moses bade: and it did
not stink, neither was there any worm therein.
25. And Moses said, Eat that to-day; for to-day is a Sabbath unto the
Lord: to-day ye shall not find it in the field.
26. Six days ye shall gather it; but on the seventh day, which is the
Sabbath, in it there shall be none.
27. And it came to pass, that there went out some of the people on the
seventh day for to gather, and they found none.
28. And the Lord said unto Moses, How long refuse ye to keep my
commandments and my laws?
29. See, for that the Lord hath given you the Sabbath, therefore he
giveth you on the sixth day the bread of two days: abide ye every man
in his place, let no man go out of his place on the seventh day.
30. So the people rested on the seventh day.
EX. XXXI, 13. Speak thou also unto the children of Israel, saying,
Verily, my Sabbaths ye shall keep: for it is a sign between me and you
throughout your generations; that ye may know that I am the Lord that
doth sanctify you.
14. Ye shall keep the Sabbath therefore; for it is holy unto you.
Every one that defileth it shall surely be put to death: for whosoever
doeth any work therein, that soul shall be cut off from among his
people.
15. Six days may work be done; but in the seventh is the Sabbath of
rest, holy to the Lord: whosoever doeth any work in the Sabbath day,
he shall surely be put to death.
16. Wherefore the children of Israel shall keep the Sabbath, to
observe the Sabbath throughout their generations, for a perpetual
covenant.
17. It is a sign between me and the children of Israel forever: for in
six days the Lord made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he
rested, and was refreshed.
