Exodus 31 — Context

the altar of burnt offering with all its vessels, the basin and its base,

the finely worked garments--the holy garments for Aaron the priest--the garments of his sons to minister in the priest's office,

the anointing oil, and the incense of sweet spices for the holy place: according to all that I have commanded you they shall do."

Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

"Speak also to the children of Israel, saying, 'Most certainly you shall keep my Sabbaths: for it is a sign between me and you throughout your generations; that you may know that I am Yahweh who sanctifies you.

You shall keep the Sabbath therefore; for it is holy to you. Everyone who profanes it shall surely be put to death; for whoever does any work therein, that soul shall be cut off from among his people.

Six days shall work be done, but on the seventh day is a Sabbath of solemn rest, holy to Yahweh. Whoever does any work on the Sabbath day shall surely be put to death.
