1And Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

2Speak to the sons of Israel and say to them: The appointed times of Yahweh, which you shall proclaim as holy convocations—these are my appointed times.

3For six days work may be done, but on the seventh day is a Sabbath of complete rest, a holy convocation. You shall do no work; it is a Sabbath to Yahweh in all your dwellings.

4These are the appointed times of Yahweh, holy convocations, which you shall proclaim at their appointed times.
