12. And יְהוָ֥ה spake unto Moses, saying,

13. Speak thou also unto the children of Israel, saying, Verily my sabbaths ye shall keep: for it a sign between me and you throughout your generations; that may know that יְהוָ֥ה that doth sanctify you.

14. Ye shall keep the sabbath therefore; for it holy unto you: every one that defileth it shall surely be put to death: for whosoever doeth work therein, that soul shall be cut off from among his people.

15. Six days may work be done; but in the seventh the sabbath of rest, holy to יְהוָ֥ה: whosoever doeth 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, a perpetual covenant.

17. It a sign between me and the children of Israel for ever: for six days יְהוָ֥ה made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed.

18. And he gave unto Moses, when he had made an end of communing with him upon mount Sinai, two tables of testimony, tables of stone, written with the finger of Elohim.
