And YHWH spoke to Moshe, saying, 13"Speak also to the children of Israel,saying: 'Surely My Sabbaths you shallkeep, for it is a sign between Me andyou throughout your generations, that you may know that I am YHWH whosets you apart. 14 You shall keep the Sabbath, therefore, for it is set-apart 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. 15 Work shall be done for six days, but the seventh is the Sabbath of rest, setapart to YHWH. Whoever does any work on the Sabbath day, he shall surely be put to death. 16 Therefore the children of Israel shall keep the Sabbath, to observe the Sabbath throughout their generations as a perpetual covenant. 17 It is a sign between Me and the children of Israel forever; for in six days YHWH made the heavens and the earth, and on the seventh day He rested and was refreshed’.” [Shemote (Exodus) 31:14-17]

Isaiah 58:13-14 13"If you hold back your foot on Shabbat from pursuing your own interests on my holy day; if you call Shabbat a delight, YHWH's holy day, worth honoring; then honor it by not doing your usual things or pursuing your interests or speaking about them. 14 If you do, you will find delight in YHWH — I will make you ride on the heights of the land and feed you with the heritage of your ancestor Ya`akov (Jacob), for the mouth of YHWH has spoken."
