Exodus 31:13-17
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.’”

“For the eunuchs who observe my Sabbaths
and choose what pleases me
and are faithful to my covenant,
56:5 I will set up within my temple and my walls a monument
that will be better than sons and daughters.
I will set up a permanent monument for them that will remain.
56:6 As for foreigners who become followers of the Lord and serve him,
who love the name of the Lord and want to be his servants –
all who observe the Sabbath and do not defile it,
and who are faithful to my covenant –
Isaiah 58:13
58:13 You must observe the Sabbath
rather than doing anything you please on my holy day.
You must look forward to the Sabbath
and treat the Lord’s holy day with respect.
You must treat it with respect by refraining from your normal activities,
and by refraining from your selfish pursuits and from making business deals.

20:12 I also gave them my Sabbaths
as a reminder of our relationship,
so that they would know that I, the
Lord, sanctify them.
