1 Moses called together the whole community of the people of Israel and said to them, "This is what the LORD has commanded you to do: 2 You have six days in which to do your work, but the seventh day is to be sacred, a solemn day of rest dedicated to me, the LORD. Anyone who does any work on that is to be put to death. 3 Do not even light a fire in your homes on the Sabbath."
