Exodus 31:15-17
1599 Geneva Bible
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 [a]rest throughout their generations for an everlasting Covenant.
17 It is a sign between me and the children of Israel forever: (A)for in six days the Lord made the heaven and the earth, and in the seventh day [b]he ceased and rested.
