Keep the Sabbath; it’s holy to you. Whoever profanes it will most certainly be put to death. Whoever works on it will be excommunicated from the people. There are six days for work but the seventh day is Sabbath, pure rest, holy to GOD. Anyone who works on the Sabbath will most certainly be put to death.

Yes, because in six days GOD made the Heavens and the Earth and on the seventh day he stopped and took a long, deep breath.’”
