Exodus 20:9-10
20:9 For six days
you may labor
and do all your work,
20:10 but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the
Lord your God; on it
you shall not do any work, you,
or your son, or your daughter, or your male servant, or your female servant, or your cattle, or the resident foreigner who is in your gates.
Exodus 23:12
23:12 For six days you are to do your work, but on the seventh day you must cease, in order that your ox and your donkey may rest and that your female servant’s son and any hired help
may refresh themselves.
Exodus 31:13-16
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.
Exodus 34:21
34:21 “On six days you may labor, but on the seventh day you must rest; even at the time of plowing and of harvest you are to rest.
Leviticus 23:3

23:3 “‘Six days work may be done, but on the seventh day there must be a Sabbath of complete rest, a holy assembly. You must not do any work; it is a Sabbath to the Lord in all the places where you live.
Deuteronomy 5:12-15
5:12 Be careful to observe
the Sabbath day just as the
Lord your God has commanded you.
5:13 You are to work and do all your tasks in six days,
5:14 but the seventh day is the Sabbath
of the
Lord your God. On that day you must not do any work, you, your son, your daughter, your male slave, your female slave, your ox, your donkey, any other animal, or the foreigner who lives with you,
so that your male and female slaves, like yourself, may have rest.
5:15 Recall that you were slaves in the land of Egypt and that the
Lord your God brought you out of there by strength and power.
That is why the
Lord your God has commanded you to observe
the Sabbath day.
Luke 13:14
13:14 But the president of the synagogue, indignant because Jesus had healed on the Sabbath, said to the crowd, “There are six days on which work
should be done!
So come
and be healed on those days, and not on the Sabbath day.”
