Context
31:13 “Tell the Israelites , ‘Surely you must keep my Sabbaths , for it is a sign between me and you throughout your generations , that you may know that I am the Lord who sanctifies you.
31:14 So you must keep the Sabbath , for it is holy for you. Everyone who defiles it must surely be put to death; indeed , if anyone does any work on it, then that person will be cut off from among his people .
31:15 Six days work may be done , but on the seventh day is a Sabbath of complete rest , holy to the Lord ; anyone who does work on the Sabbath day must surely be put to death .
31:16 The Israelites must keep the Sabbath by observing the Sabbath throughout their generations as a perpetual covenant .
31:17 It is a sign between me and the Israelites forever ; for in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth , and on the seventh day he rested and was refreshed .’”
31:18 He gave Moses two tablets of testimony when he had finished speaking with him on Mount Sinai , tablets of stone written by the finger of God .
