14 Vous observerez le sabbat, car il sera pour vous une chose sainte. Celui qui le profanera, sera puni de mort; celui qui fera quelque ouvrage ce jour-là, sera retranché du milieu de son peuple.
15 On travaillera six jours; mais le septième jour est le sabbat, le jour du repos, consacré à l’Éternel. Celui qui fera quelque ouvrage le jour du sabbat, sera puni de mort.
16 Les enfants d’Israël observeront le sabbat, en le célébrant, eux et leurs descendants, comme une alliance perpétuelle.
17 Ce sera entre moi et les enfants d’Israël un signe qui devra durer à perpétuité; car en six jours l’Éternel a fait les cieux et la terre, et le septième jour il a cessé son œuvre et il s’est reposé.
18 Lorsque l’Éternel eut achevé de parler à Moïse sur la montagne de Sinaï, il lui donna les deux tables du témoignage, tables de pierre, écrites du doigt de Dieu.
