Back to passage

God saw all that he had made– and it was very good! There was evening, and there was morning, the sixth day.

“Remember the Sabbath day to set it apart as holy.

“Tell the Israelites,‘Surely you must keep my Sabbaths, for it is a sign between me and you throughout your generations, that you may know that I am the LORD who sanctifies you.

In six days work may be done, but on the seventh day there must be a holy day for you, a Sabbath of complete rest to the LORD. Anyone who does work on it will be put to death.

“Speak to the Israelites and tell them,‘When you enter the land that I am giving you, the land must observe a Sabbath to the LORD.

You made known to them your holy Sabbath; you issued commandments, statutes, and law to them through Moses your servant.

The blessing from the LORD makes a person rich, and he adds no sorrow to it.

You must observe the Sabbath rather than doing anything you please on my holy day. You must look forward to the Sabbath and treat the LORD’s holy day with respect. You must treat it with respect by refraining from your normal activities, and by refraining from your selfish pursuits and from making business deals.

I also gave them my Sabbaths as a reminder of our relationship, so that they would know that I, the LORD, sanctify them.

Then they returned and prepared aromatic spices and perfumes. On the Sabbath they rested according to the commandment.
