Exodus 31:15-17

Christian Standard Bible

¹⁵ Work may be done for six days, but on the seventh day there must be a Sabbath of complete rest,^(A) holy to the Lord. Anyone who does work on the Sabbath day must be put to death. ¹⁶ The Israelites must observe the Sabbath, celebrating it throughout their generations as a permanent covenant. ¹⁷ It is a sign forever between me and the Israelites, for in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, but on the seventh day he rested and was refreshed.”
