Exodus 16:23-29
New American Standard Bible
23 then he said to them, “This is what the Lord [a]meant: (A)Tomorrow is a Sabbath observance, a holy Sabbath to the Lord. Bake what you will bake and boil what you will boil, and (B)all that is left over [b]put aside to be kept until morning.” 24 So they put it aside until morning, as Moses had ordered, and (C)it did not stink nor was there a maggot in it. 25 Then Moses said, “Eat it today, for today is a Sabbath to the Lord; today you will not find it in the field. 26 (D)Six days you shall gather it, but on the seventh day, the Sabbath, there will be [c]none.”
27 Yet it came about on the seventh day that some of the people went out to gather, but they found none. 28 Then the Lord said to Moses, “(E)How long do you refuse to keep My commandments and My [d]instructions? 29 See, [e]the Lord has given you the Sabbath; for that reason He gives you bread for two days on the sixth day. Remain, everyone, in his place; no one is to leave his place on the seventh day.”

Isaiah 56:2-6
New American Standard Bible
2 (A)Blessed is a man who does this,
And a son of man who (B)takes hold of it;
Who (C)keeps from profaning the Sabbath,
And keeps his hand from doing any evil.”
3 Let not the (D)foreigner who has joined himself to the Lord say,
“The Lord will certainly separate me from His people.”
Nor let the (E)eunuch say, “Behold, I am a dry tree.”
4 For this is what the Lord says:
“To the eunuchs who (F)keep My Sabbaths,
And choose what pleases Me,
And (G)hold firmly to My covenant,
5 To them I will give in My (H)house and within My (I)walls a memorial,
And a name better than that of sons and daughters;
I will give [a]them an everlasting (J)name which (K)will not be eliminated.
6 “Also the (L)foreigners who join themselves to the Lord,
To attend to His service and to love the name of the Lord,
To be His servants, every one who (M)keeps the Sabbath so as not to profane it,
And holds firmly to My covenant;

Keeping the Sabbath
13 “If, because of the Sabbath, you (A)restrain your foot
From doing as you wish on My holy day,
And call the Sabbath a (B)pleasure, and the holy day of the Lord honorable,
And honor it, desisting from your (C)own ways,
From seeking your own pleasure
And (D)speaking your own word,
