- "In those¹ daysª sawª° I in Judahª [some] treadingª° wine pressesª on the sabbath,ª and bringing inª° sheaves,ª and ladingª°¹ asses;ª as also¹ wine,ª grapes,ª and figs,ª and all¹ [manner of] burdens,ª which they brought²° into¹ Jerusalemª on the sabbathª day:ª and I testifiedª° [against them] in the dayª wherein they soldª° victuals.ª ... And I commandedª° the Levitesª that¹ they should¹ cleanse²° themselves,¹ and [that] they should comeª° [and] keepª° the gates,ª to sanctifyª°¹ the sabbathª day.ª Rememberª° me, O my God,ª [concerning] this¹ also,¹ and spareª°¹ me according to the greatnessª of thy mercy.ª" {Neh 13:15-22} + "But the seventhª dayª [is] the sabbathª of the LORDª thy God:ª [in it] thou shalt not¹ doª° any¹ work,ª thou,¹ nor thy son,ª nor thy daughter,ª thy manservant,ª nor thy maidservant,ª nor thy cattle,ª nor thy strangerª that¹ [is] within thy gates:ª" {Exd 20:10} + "Sixª daysª shall workª be done:ª° but the seventhª dayª [is] the sabbathª of rest,ª an holyª convocation;ª ye shall doª° no¹¹ workª [therein]: it¹ [is] the sabbathª of the LORDª in all¹ your dwellings.ª" {Lev 23:3} + "Keepª°¹ the sabbathª dayª to sanctifyª° it, as¹ the LORDª thy Godª hath commandedª° thee. ... But the seventhª dayª [is] the sabbathª of the LORDª thy God:ª [in it] thou shalt not¹ doª° any¹ work,ª thou,¹ nor thy son,ª nor thy daughter,ª nor thy manservant,ª nor thy maidservant,ª nor thine ox,ª nor thine ass,ª nor any¹ of thy cattle,ª nor thy strangerª that¹ [is] within thy gates;ª that¹ thy manservantª and thy maidservantª may restª° as well as thou." {Deu 5:12-14} + "If¹ thou turn awayª° thy footª from the sabbath,ª¹ [from] doingª° thy pleasureª on my holyª day;ª and callª° the sabbathª a delight,ª the holyª of the LORD,ª honourable;ª° and shalt honourª° him, not doingª°¹ thine own ways,ª nor findingª°¹ thine own pleasure,ª nor speakingª° [thine own] words:ª ... Then¹ shalt thou delight²° thyself¹ in¹ the LORD;ª and I will cause thee to rideª° upon¹ the high placesª of the earth,ª and feedª° thee with the heritageª of Jacobª thy father:ª for¹ the mouthª of the LORDª hath spokenª° [it]." {Isa 58:13-14} + "Thus¹ saithª° the LORD;ª Take heedª° to yourselves,ª and bearª° no¹ burdenª on the sabbathª day,ª nor bring²° [it] in¹ by the gatesª of Jerusalem;ª ... Neither¹ carry forthª° a burdenª out of your housesª¹ on the sabbathª day,ª neither¹ doª° ye any¹ work,ª but hallowª° ye¹ the sabbathª day,ª as¹ I commandedª° your fathers.ª" {Jer 17:21-22}
