¹⁷ It is a sign between me and the children of Israel for ever; because in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he took his rest and had pleasure in it.

³¹ And God saw everything which he had made and it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day.

¹³ Say to the children of Israel that they are to keep my Sabbaths; for the Sabbath day is a sign between me and you through all your generations; so that you may see that I am the Lord who makes you holy.

² And on the seventh day God came to the end of all his work; and on the seventh day he took his rest from all the work which he had done.

³ And God gave his blessing to the seventh day and made it holy: because on that day he took his rest from all the work which he had made and done.

¹⁰ For the man who comes into his rest has had rest from his works, as God did from his.

¹² And further, I gave them my Sabbaths, to be a sign between me and them, so that it might be clear that I, who make them holy, am the Lord.

³ For those of us who have belief come into his rest; even as he has said, As I said in my oath when I was angry, They may not come into my rest: though the works were done from the time of the making of the world.

⁴ For in one place he has said of the seventh day, And God had rest from all his works on the seventh day;

²⁰ And keep my Sabbaths holy; and they will be a sign between me and you so that it may be clear to you that I am the Lord your God.

⁴¹ And truly, I will take pleasure in doing them good, and all my heart and soul will be given to planting them in this land in good faith.

³¹ Let the glory of the Lord be for ever; let the Lord have joy in his works:

⁷ When the morning stars made songs together, and all the sons of the gods gave cries of joy?
