Exodus 31:15-17

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁵ Six days shall you do work: in the seventh day is the sabbath, the rest holy to the Lord. Every one that shall do any work on this day, shall die.

¹⁶ Let the children of Israel keep the sabbath, and celebrate it in their generations. It is an everlasting covenant

¹⁷ Between me and the children of Israel, and a perpetual sign. For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, and in the seventh he ceased from work.
