It is a sign forever between me and the people of Israel that in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested and was refreshed.’”
And God saw everything that he had made, and behold, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day.
“You are to speak to the people of Israel and say, ‘Above all you shall keep my Sabbaths, for this is a sign between me and you throughout your generations, that you may know that I, the Lord, sanctify you.
And on the seventh day God finished his work that he had done, and he rested on the seventh day from all his work that he had done. So God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it God rested from all his work that he had done in creation.
for whoever has entered God's rest has also rested from his works as God did from his.
Moreover, I gave them my Sabbaths, as a sign between me and them, that they might know that I am the Lord who sanctifies them.
For we who have believed enter that rest, as he has said, “As I swore in my wrath, ‘They shall not enter my rest,’” although his works were finished from the foundation of the world. For he has somewhere spoken of the seventh day in this way: “And God rested on the seventh day from all his works.”
and keep my Sabbaths holy that they may be a sign between me and you, that you may know that I am the Lord your God.’
I will rejoice in doing them good, and I will plant them in this land in faithfulness, with all my heart and all my soul.
May the glory of the Lord endure forever; may the Lord rejoice in his works,
when the morning stars sang together and all the sons of God shouted for joy?
