Exodus 31:13-17
1599 Geneva Bible
13 Speak thou also unto the children of Israel, and say, [a]Notwithstanding keep ye my Sabbaths: for it is a sign between me and you in your generations, that ye may know that I the Lord do sanctify you.
14 (A)Ye shall therefore keep the [b]Sabbath: for it is holy unto you: he that defileth it, shall die the death: therefore whosoever worketh therein, the same person shall be even cut off from among his people.
15 Six days shall men work, but in the seventh day is the Sabbath of the holy rest to the Lord: whosoever doeth any work in the Sabbath day, shall die the death.
16 Wherefore the children of Israel shall keep the Sabbath, that they may observe the [c]rest throughout their generations for an everlasting Covenant.
17 It is a sign between me and the children of Israel forever: (B)for in six days the Lord made the heaven and the earth, and in the seventh day [d]he ceased and rested.

4 And the Lord said unto him, Go through the midst of the city, even through the midst of Jerusalem, and [a]set a mark upon the foreheads of them that [b]mourn, and cry for all the abominations that be done in the midst thereof.
5 And to the other he said, that I might hear, Go ye after him through the city, and smite: let your eye spare none, neither have pity.
6 Destroy utterly the old, and the young, and the maids, and the children, and the women, but touch no man, upon whom is the [c]mark, and begin at my Sanctuary. Then they began at the [d]ancient men, which were before the house.
7 And he said unto them, Defile the house, and fill the courts with the slain, then go forth: and they went out and slew them in the city.

23 For the [b]commandment is a lantern, and instruction a light: and [c]corrections for instruction are the way of life,
24 To keep thee from the wicked woman, and from the flattery of the tongue of a strange woman.
