The Sabbath Law

12 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
13 “Speak also to the children of Israel, saying: a‘Surely My Sabbaths you shall keep, for it is a sign between Me and you throughout your generations, that you may know that I am the Lord who bsanctifies you.  
14 aYou shall keep the Sabbath, therefore, for it is holy to you. Everyone who1 profanes it shall surely be put to death; for bwhoever does any work on it, that person shall be cut off from among his people.  
15 Work shall be done for asix days, but the bseventh is the Sabbath of rest, holy to the Lord. Whoever does any work on the Sabbath day, he shall surely be put to death.  
16 Therefore the children of Israel shall keep the Sabbath, to observe the Sabbath throughout their generations as a perpetual covenant.

Exodus

EXODUS, a "going forth," derives its name from its being occupied principally with a relation of the departure of the Israelites from Egypt, and the incidents that immediately preceded as well as followed that memorable migration. Its authorship by Moses is distinctly asserted by himself (Exodus 24:4), as well as by our Lord (Mark 12:26; Luke 20:37). Besides, the thorough knowledge it exhibits of the institutions and usages of the ancient Egyptians and the minute geographical details of the journey to Sinai, establish in the clearest manner the authenticity of this book.
