Exodus 31:13 — Meaning and Application

And the anointing oil, and sweet incense for the holy {place}: according to all that I have commanded thee shall they do.

And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

Speak thou also unto the children of 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} the LORD that doth sanctify you.

Ye shall keep the sabbath therefore; for it {is} 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.

Six days may work be done; but in the seventh {is} the sabbath of rest, holy to the LORD: whosoever doeth {any} work in the sabbath day, he shall surely be put to death. {holy: Heb. holiness}
