Exodus 35:1-3

Good News Translation

Regulations for the Sabbath

35 Moses called together the whole community of the people of Israel and said to them, “This is what the Lord has commanded you to do: ^2 (A)You have six days in which to do your work, but the seventh day is to be sacred, a solemn day of rest dedicated to me, the Lord. Anyone who does any work on that day is to be put to death. ³ Do not even light a fire in your homes on the Sabbath.”
