Sabbath

2On the seventh day God finished his work which he had done; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had done.

3God blessed the seventh day, and made it holy, because he rested in it from all his work of creation which he had done.

22On the sixth day, they gathered twice as much bread, two omers for each one, and all the rulers of the congregation came and told Moses.

23He said to them, “This is that which Yahweh has spoken, ‘Tomorrow is a solemn rest, a holy Sabbath to Yahweh. Bake that which you want to bake, and boil that which you want to boil; and all that remains over lay up for yourselves to be kept until the morning.’”

24They laid it up until the morning, as Moses asked, and it didn’t become foul, and there were no worms in it.

25Moses said, “Eat that today, for today is a Sabbath to Yahweh. Today you shall not find it in the field.

26Six days you shall gather it, but on the seventh day is the Sabbath. In it there shall be none.”

27On the seventh day, some of the people went out to gather, and they found none.

28Yahweh said to Moses, “How long do you refuse to keep my commandments and my laws?

29Behold, because Yahweh has given you the Sabbath, therefore he gives you on the sixth day the bread of two days. Everyone stay in his place. Let no one go out of his place on the seventh day.”

30So the people rested on the seventh day.

8“Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.

9You shall labor six days, and do all your work,

10but the seventh day is a Sabbath to Yahweh your God. You shall not do any work in it, you, nor your son, nor your daughter, your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your livestock, nor your stranger who is within your gates;

11for in six days Yahweh made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day; therefore Yahweh blessed the Sabbath day, and made it holy.

13“Speak also to the children of Israel, saying, ‘Most certainly you shall keep my Sabbaths: for it is a sign between me and you throughout your generations; that you may know that I am Yahweh who sanctifies you.

14You shall keep the Sabbath therefore; for it is holy to you. Everyone who profanes it shall surely be put to death; for whoever does any work therein, that soul shall be cut off from among his people.

15Six days shall work be done, but on the seventh day is a Sabbath of solemn rest, holy to Yahweh. Whoever does any work on the Sabbath day shall surely be put to death.

16Therefore the children of Israel shall keep the Sabbath, to observe the Sabbath throughout their generations, for a perpetual covenant.

17It is a sign between me and the children of Israel forever; for in six days Yahweh made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed.’”

13“You came down also on Mount Sinai, and spoke with them from heaven, and gave them right ordinances and true laws, good statutes and commandments,

14and made known to them your holy Sabbath, and commanded them commandments, and statutes, and a law, by Moses your servant,

1It is a good thing to give thanks to Yahweh, to sing praises to your name, Most High;

2to proclaim your loving kindness in the morning, and your faithfulness every night,

3with the ten-stringed lute, with the harp, and with the melody of the lyre.

4For you, Yahweh, have made me glad through your work. I will triumph in the works of your hands.

5How great are your works, Yahweh! Your thoughts are very deep.

6A senseless man doesn’t know, neither does a fool understand this:

7though the wicked spring up as the grass, and all the evildoers flourish, they will be destroyed forever.

8But you, Yahweh, are on high forever more.

9For, behold, your enemies, Yahweh, for, behold, your enemies shall perish. All the evildoers will be scattered.

10But you have exalted my horn like that of the wild ox. I am anointed with fresh oil.

11My eye has also seen my enemies. My ears have heard of the wicked enemies who rise up against me.

12The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree. He will grow like a cedar in Lebanon.

13They are planted in Yahweh’s house. They will flourish in our God’s courts.

14They will still produce fruit in old age. They will be full of sap and green,

15to show that Yahweh is upright. He is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.

2Blessed is the man who does this, and the son of man who holds it fast; who keeps the Sabbath without profaning it, and keeps his hand from doing any evil.”

27He said to them, “The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath.

2When the Sabbath had come, he began to teach in the synagogue, and many hearing him were astonished, saying, “Where did this man get these things?” and, “What is the wisdom that is given to this man, that such mighty works come about by his hands?

10He was teaching in one of the synagogues on the Sabbath day.

11Behold, there was a woman who had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and she was bent over, and could in no way straighten herself up.

12When Jesus saw her, he called her, and said to her, “Woman, you are freed from your infirmity.”

13He laid his hands on her, and immediately she stood up straight, and glorified God.

14The ruler of the synagogue, being indignant because Jesus had healed on the Sabbath, said to the multitude, “There are six days in which men ought to work. Therefore come on those days and be healed, and not on the Sabbath day!”

15Therefore the Lord answered him, “You hypocrites! Doesn’t each one of you free his ox or his donkey from the stall on the Sabbath, and lead him away to water?

16Ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan had bound eighteen long years, be freed from this bondage on the Sabbath day?”

17As he said these things, all his adversaries were disappointed, and all the multitude rejoiced for all the glorious things that were done by him.

21Jesus answered them, “I did one work, and you all marvel because of it.

22Moses has given you circumcision (not that it is of Moses, but of the fathers), and on the Sabbath you circumcise a boy.

23If a boy receives circumcision on the Sabbath, that the law of Moses may not be broken, are you angry with me, because I made a man completely healthy on the Sabbath?

24Don’t judge according to appearance, but judge righteous judgment.”
