Then Moses assembled the whole congregation of Israel and said to them, “These are the things that the LORD has commanded you to do:

2 On six days work may be done, but for you, the seventh day must be a holy day, a Sabbath day of complete rest, holy to Yahweh. Whoever does any work on that day must be put to death.
