Leviticus 23:1-3

Rules about Sabbath days and special holy days

1 The Lord said to Moses, 2 ‘Tell this to Israel's people:

These are the special days and festivals that I have chosen. At these times you must meet together to worship me.

3 In each week, there are six days when you can do your work. The seventh day is the Sabbath day. On that day you must rest. You must not do any work. It is a holy day when you meet together to worship the Lord. This is the rule in all the places where you live.
