Exodus 31:13-15
Lexham English Bible
13 “And you, speak to the Israelites,[a] saying, ‘Surely you must keep my Sabbaths, because it is a sign between me and you throughout your generations, in order to know that I am Yahweh, who consecrates you. 14 And you must keep the Sabbath, because it is holy for you; defilers[b] of it will surely be put to death, because anyone who does work on it—that person will be cut off from among his people. 15 On six days work can be done, and on the seventh is a Sabbath of complete rest,[c] a holy day[d] for Yahweh; anyone doing work on the Sabbath day will surely be put to death.
