Exodus 31:16 in Context — Exodus 31

14 Assim guardareis o sábado, porque santo é a vós: o que o profanar, certamente morrerá; porque qualquer um que fizer obra alguma nele, aquela alma será cortada do meio de seus povos.

15 Seis dias se fará obra, mas o dia sétimo é sábado de repouso consagrado ao SENHOR; qualquer um que fizer obra no dia do sábado certamente morrerá.

16 Guardarão, pois, o sábado os filhos de Israel: celebrando-o por suas gerações por pacto perpétuo:

17 Sinal é para sempre entre mim e os filhos de Israel; porque em seis dias fez o SENHOR os céus e a terra, e no sétimo dia cessou, e repousou.

18 E deu a Moisés quando acabou de falar com ele no monte de Sinai, duas tábuas do testemunho, tábuas de pedra escritas com o dedo de Deus.
