6 And behold the commandment regarding the Shabbats -I have written them down for you- and all the judgments of its laws.
7 Six days shall you labour, but on the seventh day is the Shabbat of YAHWEH your Sovereign Ruler. In it you shall do no manner of work, you and your sons, and your men- servants and your maid-servants, and all your cattle and the sojourner also who is with you.
8 And the man that does any work on it shall die: whoever desecrates that day, whoever lies with (his) wife, or whoever says he will do something on it, that he will set out on a journey thereon in regard to any buying or selling: and whoever draws water thereon which he had not prepared for himself on the sixth day, and whoever takes up any burden to carry it out of his tent or out of his house shall die.
9 You shall do no work whatever on the Shabbat day save what you have prepared for yourselves on the sixth day, so as to eat, and drink, and rest, and keep Shabbat from all work on that day, and to bless YAHWEH your Sovereign Ruler, who has given you a day of festival and a kodesh day: and a day of the kodesh kingdom for all Yisrael is this day among their days forever.
10 For great is the honor which YAHWEH has given to Yisrael that they should eat and drink and be satisfied on this festival day, and rest thereon from all labour which belongs to the labour of the children of men save burning frankincense and bringing oblations and sacrifices before YAHWEH for days and for Shabbats.
11 This work alone shall be done on the Shabbat-days in the sanctuary of YAHWEH your Sovereign Ruler; that they may atone for Yisrael with sacrifice continually from day to day for a memorial well-pleasing before YAHWEH, and that He may receive them always from day to day according as you have been commanded.
12 And every man who does any work thereon, or goes a journey, or tills (his) farm, whether in his house or any other place, and whoever lights a fire, or rides on any beast, or travels by ship on the sea, and whoever strikes or kills anything, or slaughters a beast or a bird, or whoever catches an animal or a bird or a fish, or whoever fasts or makes war on the Shabbats:
13 The man who does any of these things on the Shabbat shall die, so that the children of Yisrael shall observe the Shabbats according to the commandments regarding the Shabbats of the land, as it is written in the tablets, which He gave into my hands that I should write out for you the laws of the seasons, and the seasons according to the division of their days. Herewith is completed the account of the division of the days.
The Book of Jubilees was also written by Moses
8 Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.
9 Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:
10 But the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:
11 For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.
3 ‘Six days shall work be done, but the seventh day is a Sabbath of solemn rest, a holy convocation. You shall do no work on it; it is the Sabbath of the Lord in all your dwellings.
4 For he spake in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise, And God did rest the seventh day from all his works.
9 There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God.
10 For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his.
