So the people rested on the seventh day.

When the Lord spoke to Moses in the land of Egypt,

You must not kindle a fire in any of your homes on the Sabbath day.”

That same day Pharaoh commanded the slave masters and foremen who were over the people:

You are to tell your son on that day, ‘It is because of what the Lord did for me when I came out of Egypt.’

On the seventh day some of the people went out to gather it, but they found nothing.

In the third month after the Israelites went out from the land of Egypt, on the very day, they came to the Desert of Sinai.

“On the first day of the first month you are to set up the tabernacle, the tent of meeting.

See, because the Lord has given you the Sabbath, that is why he is giving you food for two days on the sixth day. Each of you stay where you are; let no one go out of his place on the seventh day.”

When he went out the next day, there were two Hebrew men fighting. So he said to the one who was in the wrong, “Why are you attacking your fellow Hebrew?”

Pharaoh said to him, “Go from me! Watch out for yourself! Do not appear before me again, for when you see my face you will die!”

So the Lord saved Israel on that day from the power of the Egyptians, and Israel saw the Egyptians dead on the shore of the sea.

On the sixth day they will prepare what they bring in, and it will be twice as much as they gather every other day.”

And on the sixth day they gathered twice as much food, two omers per person; and all the leaders of the community came and told Moses.

and be ready for the third day, for on the third day the Lord will come down on Mount Sinai in the sight of all the people.

You must also do this for your oxen and for your sheep; seven days they may remain with their mothers, but give them to me on the eighth day.

The glory of the Lord resided on Mount Sinai, and the cloud covered it for six days. On the seventh day he called to Moses from within the cloud.

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.

The Levites did what Moses ordered, and that day about three thousand men of the people died.

But on that day I will mark off the land of Goshen, where my people are staying, so that no swarms of flies will be there, that you may know that I am the Lord in the midst of this land.
