¹And after this law I made known to thee the days of the Sabbaths in the desert of Sin[ai], which is between Elim and Sinai.

²And I told thee of the Sabbaths of the land on Mount Sinai, and I told thee of the jubilee years in the sabbaths of years: but the year thereof have I not told thee till ye enter the land which ye are to possess.

³And the land also shall keep its sabbaths while they dwell upon it, and they shall know the jubilee year.

⁴Wherefore I have ordained for thee the year-weeks and the years and the jubilees: there are forty-nine jubilees from the days of Adam till this day, [2410 A.M.] and one week and two years: and there are yet forty years to come (lit. 'distant') for learning the [2450 A.M.] commandments of the Lord, till they pass over into the land of Canaan, crossing the Jordan to the west.

⁵And the jubilees shall pass by, till Israel is cleansed from all guilt of fornication, and uncleanness, and pollution, and sin, and error, and dwelleth with confidence in all the land, and there shall be no more a Satan or any evil one, and the land shall be clean from that time for evermore.

⁶And behold the commandment regarding the Sabbaths -I have written (them) down for thee- and all the judgments of its laws.

⁷Six days shalt thou labour, but on the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord thy God. In it ye shall do no manner of work, ye and thy sons, and thy men- servants and thy maid-servants, and all thy cattle and the sojourner also who is with thee.

⁸And the man that does any work on it shall die: whoever desecrates that day, whoever lies with (his) wife, or whoever saith 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 taketh up any burden to carry it out of his tent or out of his house shall die.

⁹Ye shall do no work whatever on the Sabbath day save what ye have prepared for yourselves on the sixth day, so as to eat, and drink, and rest, and keep Sabbath from all work on that day, and to bless the Lord thy God, who hath given you a day of festival and a holy day: and a day of the holy kingdom for all Israel is this day among their days for ever.

¹⁰For great is the honour which the Lord hath given to Israel 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 the Lord for days and for Sabbaths.

¹¹This work alone shall be done on the Sabbath-days in the sanctuary of the Lord thy God; that they may atone for Israel with sacrifice continually from day to day for a memorial well-pleasing before the Lord, and that He may receive them always from day to day according as thou hast been commanded.

¹²And every man who doth any work thereon, or goeth 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 maketh war on the Sabbaths:

¹³The man who doth any of these things on the Sabbath shall die, so that the children of Israel shall observe the Sabbaths according to the commandments regarding the Sabbaths of the land, as it is written in the tablets, which He gave into my hands that I should write out for thee 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.
