Exodus 31:14-16

GOD’S WORD Translation

¹⁴ “ ‘Observe the day of rest because it is holy to you. Whoever treats it like any other day must be put to death. Whoever works on that day must be excluded from the people. ¹⁵ You may work for six days, but the seventh day is a day of rest—a holy day, a day when you don’t work. It is holy to the Lord. Whoever works on that day must be put to death. ¹⁶ The Israelites must observe this day of rest as a holy day, celebrating it for generations to come as a permanent reminder of my promise.^[a]
