Exodus 35:1-3

GOD’S WORD Translation

Rules about the Day of Rest

35 Moses assembled the whole Israelite community and said to them, “These are the things the Lord has commanded you to do: ² You may work for six days, but the seventh day is a holy day of rest, a day when you don’t work. It is dedicated to the Lord. Whoever does any work on this day should be put to death. ³ Never light a fire in any of your homes on this day of rest.”
