13 Speak to the Israelites and say: 'You must observe my Sabbaths, for it is a sign between me and you throughout your generations, so that you may know that I am the LORD who sanctifies you.
14 You shall keep the Sabbath, for it is holy to you. Anyone who profanes it shall surely be put to death; whoever does any work on it, that person shall be cut off from among their people.
15 For six days, work shall be done, but on the seventh day is a Sabbath of complete rest, holy to the LORD. Whoever does any work on the Sabbath day shall surely be put to death.
16 The Israelites are to observe the Sabbath, celebrating it as a perpetual covenant for their generations.
17 It is a sign between me and the Israelites forever, for in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, but on the seventh day he rested and was refreshed.
