¹² “^(A)For six days you are to do your work, but on the seventh day you shall cease from labor so that your ox and your donkey may rest, and the son of your female slave, as well as the stranger residing with you, may refresh themselves.

¹³ “Now as for you, speak to the sons of Israel, saying, ‘^(A)You must keep My Sabbaths; for this is ^(B)a sign between Me and you throughout your generations, so that you may know that I am the Lord who sanctifies you. ¹⁴ Therefore you are to keep the Sabbath, for it is holy to you. ^(C)Everyone who profanes it must be put to death; for whoever does any work on it, that person shall be cut off from among his people. ^15 (D)For six days work may be done, but on the seventh day there is a ^(E)Sabbath of complete rest, holy to the Lord; ^(F)whoever does any work on the Sabbath day must be put to death. ¹⁶ So the sons of Israel shall keep the Sabbath, to ^[a]celebrate the Sabbath throughout their generations as a permanent covenant.’

^2 (A)You shall keep My Sabbaths and revere My sanctuary; I am the Lord.

¹² ‘^(A)Keep the Sabbath day to treat it as holy, as the Lord your God commanded you.
