SABBATH1

 

Shamuth/Exodus 31:12 And יהוה/YAHUAH spake unto Moses, saying,

13 Speak thou also unto the children of Yashar’AL/Israel, saying, Verily my sabbaths ye shall keep: for it is a sign between me and you throughout your generations; that ye may know that I am יהוה/YAHUAH that doth sanctify you.

14 Ye shall keep the sabbath therefore; for it is SET APART/holy unto you: every one that defileth it shall surely be put to death: for whosoever doeth any work therein, that soul shall be cut off from among his people.

15 Six days may work be done; but in the seventh is the sabbath of rest, holy to יהוה/YAHUAH:  whosoever doeth any work in the sabbath day, he shall surely be put to death.

16 Wherefore the children of Yashar’AL/Israel shall keep the sabbath, to observe the sabbath throughout their generations, for a perpetual covenant.

17 It is a sign between me and the children of Yashar’AL/Israel for ever: for in six days יהוה/YAHUAH
made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed.

    2 Speak unto the children of Yashar’AL/Israel, and say unto them, Concerning the feasts of  יהוה/YAHUAH which ye shall proclaim to be holy convocations, even these are my feasts.

    • 3 Six days shall work be done: but the seventh day is the sabbath of rest, an holy convocation; ye shall do no work therein: it is the sabbath of YAHUAH in all your dwellings.

    So to those who say they believe the SET APART SCRIPTURES, Resting on the 7th day Sabbath is a sign between you and THE CREATOR of all that is seen and unseen.
