Exodus 31:14-16
Lexham English Bible
14 And you must keep the Sabbath, because it is holy for you; defilers[a] 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,[b] a holy day[c] for Yahweh; anyone doing work on the Sabbath day will surely be put to death. 16 The Israelites[d] will pay attention to the Sabbath in order to fulfill the Sabbath[e] throughout their generations as a lasting covenant.
