12 T he Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,

13 But as for you, speak to the sons of Israel, saying, ‘ You shall surely observe My sabbaths; for this is a sign between Me and you throughout your generations, that you may know that I am the Lord who sanctifies you.

`And thou, speak unto the sons of Israel, saying, Only, My sabbaths ye do keep, for it a sign between Me and you, to your generations, to know that I, Jehovah, am sanctifying you;

14 T herefore you are to observe the sabbath, for it is holy to you. Everyone who profanes it shall surely be put to death; for whoever does any work on it, that person shall be cut off from among his people.

and ye have kept the sabbath, for it holy to you, he who is polluting it is certainly put to death -- for any who doeth work in it -- that person hath even been cut off from the midst of his people.

15 F or six days work may be done, but on the seventh day there is a sabbath of complete rest, holy to the Lord; whoever does any work on the sabbath day shall surely be put to death.

`Six days is work done, and in the seventh day a sabbath of holy rest to Jehovah; any who doeth work in the sabbath-day is certainly put to death,

16 S o the sons of Israel shall observe the sabbath, to celebrate the sabbath throughout their generations as a perpetual covenant.’

and the sons of Israel have observed the sabbath; to keep the sabbath to their generations a covenant age-during,

17 I t is a sign between Me and the sons of Israel forever; for in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, but on the seventh day He ceased from labor, and was refreshed.”

between Me and the sons of Israel it a sign -- to the age; for six days Jehovah made the heavens and the earth, and in the seventh day He hath ceased, and is refreshed.'
