^16:23 He told them, "This is what the LORD has said: 'Tomorrow is to be a day of complete rest, a holy Sabbath to the LORD. So bake what you want to bake, and boil what you want to boil. Then set aside whatever remains and keep it until morning.'"

Nehemiah 13:19

^13:19 And it came to pass, that when the gates of Jerusalem began to be dark before the sabbath, I commanded that the gates should be shut, and charged that they should not be opened till after the sabbath: and some of my servants set I at the gates, that there should no burden be brought in on the sabbath day.

^13:19 When the evening shadows began to fall on the gates of Jerusalem, just before the Sabbath, I ordered that the gates be shut and not opened until after the Sabbath. I posted some of my servants at the gates so that no load could enter on the Sabbath day.

Psalm 92

^92:1 It is a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord, and to sing praises unto thy name, O most High: ^92:2 To shew forth thy lovingkindness in the morning, and thy faithfulness every night, ^92:3 Upon an instrument of ten strings, and upon the psaltery; upon the harp with a solemn sound. ^92:4 For thou, Lord, hast made me glad through thy work: I will triumph in the works of thy hands. ^92:5 O Lord, how great are thy works! and thy thoughts are very deep. ^92:6 A brutish man knoweth not; neither doth a fool understand this. ^92:7 When the wicked spring as the grass, and when all the workers of iniquity do flourish; it is that they shall be destroyed for ever: ^92:8 But thou, Lord, art most high for evermore. ^92:9 For, lo, thine enemies, O Lord, for, lo, thine enemies shall perish; all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered. ^92:10 But my horn shalt thou exalt like the horn of an unicorn: I shall be anointed with fresh oil. ^92:11 Mine eye also shall see my desire on mine enemies, and mine ears shall hear my desire of the wicked that rise up against me. ^92:12 The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree: he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon. ^92:13 Those that be planted in the house of the Lord shall flourish in the courts of our God. ^92:14 They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; they shall be fat and flourishing; ^92:15 To shew that the Lord is upright: he is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.

^92:1 A Psalm. A song for the Sabbath day. It is good to praise the LORD, and to sing praises to Your name, O Most High, ^92:2 to proclaim Your loving devotion in the morning and Your faithfulness at night ^92:3 with the ten-stringed harp and the melody of the lyre. ^92:4 For You, O LORD, have made me glad by Your deeds; I sing for joy at the works of Your hands. ^92:5 How great are Your works, O LORD, how deep are Your thoughts! ^92:6 A senseless man does not know, and a fool does not understand, ^92:7 that though the wicked sprout like grass, and all evildoers flourish, they will be forever destroyed. ^92:8 But You, O LORD, are exalted forever! ^92:9 For surely Your enemies, O LORD, surely Your enemies will perish; all evildoers will be scattered. ^92:10 But You have exalted my horn like that of a wild ox; with fine oil I have been anointed. ^92:11 My eyes see the downfall of my enemies; my ears hear the wailing of my wicked foes. ^92:12 The righteous will flourish like a palm tree, and grow like a cedar in Lebanon. ^92:13 Planted in the house of the LORD, they will flourish in the courts of our God. ^92:14 In old age they will still bear fruit; healthy and green they will remain, ^92:15 to proclaim, "The LORD is upright; He is my Rock, and in Him there is no unrighteousness."

^20:12 I also gave them My Sabbaths as a sign between us, so that they would know that I am the LORD who sanctifies them. ^20:19 I am the LORD your God; walk in My statutes, keep My ordinances, and practice them. ^20:20 Keep My Sabbaths holy, that they may be a sign between us, so that you may know that I am the LORD your God.'

^4:10 then let this be known to all of you and to all the people of Israel: It is by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified but whom God raised from the dead, that this man stands before you healed. ^4:11 This Jesus is 'the stone you builders rejected, which has become the cornerstone.'

^22:26 Her priests do violence to My law and profane My holy things. They make no distinction between the holy and the common, and they fail to distinguish between the clean and the unclean. They disregard My Sabbaths, so that I am profaned among them.

^5:14 but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the LORD your God, on which you must not do any work-neither you, nor your son or daughter, nor your manservant or maidservant, nor your ox or donkey or any of your livestock, nor the foreigner within your gates, so that your manservant and maidservant may rest as you do. ^5:15 Remember that you were a slave in the land of Egypt, and that the LORD your God brought you out of there with a mighty hand and an outstretched arm. That is why the LORD your God has commanded you to keep the Sabbath day.

Lamentations 1:7

^1:7 In the days of her affliction and wandering Jerusalem remembers all the treasures that were hers in days of old. When her people fell into enemy hands she received no help. Her enemies looked upon her, laughing at her downfall.

Jeremiah 17:21–23

^17:21 Thus saith the Lord; Take heed to yourselves, and bear no burden on the sabbath day, nor bring it in by the gates of Jerusalem; ^17:22 Neither carry forth a burden out of your houses on the sabbath day, neither do ye any work, but hallow ye the sabbath day, as I commanded your fathers. ^17:23 But they obeyed not, neither inclined their ear, but made their neck stiff, that they might not hear, nor receive instruction.

^17:21 This is what the LORD says: Take heed for yourselves; do not carry a load or bring it through the gates of Jerusalem on the Sabbath day. ^17:22 You must not carry a load out of your houses or do any work on the Sabbath day, but you must keep the Sabbath day holy, just as I commanded your forefathers. ^17:23 Yet they would not listen or incline their ear, but they stiffened their necks and would not listen or receive My discipline.

Nehemiah 13:15–22

^13:15 In those days saw I in Judah some treading wine presses on the sabbath, and bringing in sheaves, and lading asses; as also wine, grapes, and figs, and all manner of burdens, which they brought into Jerusalem on the sabbath day: and I testified against them in the day wherein they sold victuals. ^13:16 There dwelt men of Tyre also therein, which brought fish, and all manner of ware, and sold on the sabbath unto the children of Judah, and in Jerusalem. ^13:17 Then I contended with the nobles of Judah, and said unto them, What evil thing is this that ye do, and profane the sabbath day? ^13:18 Did not your fathers thus, and did not our God bring all this evil upon us, and upon this city? yet ye bring more wrath upon Israel by profaning the sabbath. ^13:19 And it came to pass, that when the gates of Jerusalem began to be dark before the sabbath, I commanded that the gates should be shut, and charged that they should not be opened till after the sabbath: and some of my servants set I at the gates, that there should no burden be brought in on the sabbath day. ^13:20 So the merchants and sellers of all kind of ware lodged without Jerusalem once or twice. ^13:21 Then I testified against them, and said unto them, Why lodge ye about the wall? if ye do so again, I will lay hands on you. From that time forth came they no more on the sabbath. ^13:22 And I commanded the Levites that they should cleanse themselves, and that they should come and keep the gates, to sanctify the sabbath day. Remember me, O my God, concerning this also, and spare me according to the greatness of thy mercy.

^13:15 In those days I saw people in Judah treading winepresses on the Sabbath and bringing in grain and loading it on donkeys, along with wine, grapes, and figs. All kinds of goods were being brought into Jerusalem on the Sabbath day. So I warned them against selling food on that day. ^13:16 Additionally, men of Tyre who lived there were importing fish and all kinds of merchandise and selling them on the Sabbath to the people of Judah in Jerusalem. ^13:17 Then I rebuked the nobles of Judah and asked, "What is this evil you are doing-profaning the Sabbath day? ^13:18 Did not your forefathers do the same things, so that our God brought all this disaster on us and on this city? And now you are rekindling His wrath against Israel by profaning the Sabbath!" ^13:19 When the evening shadows began to fall on the gates of Jerusalem, just before the Sabbath, I ordered that the gates be shut and not opened until after the Sabbath. I posted some of my servants at the gates so that no load could enter on the Sabbath day. ^13:20 Once or twice, the merchants and those who sell all kinds of goods camped outside Jerusalem, ^13:21 but I warned them, "Why are you camping in front of the wall? If you do it again, I will lay hands on you." From that time on, they did not return on the Sabbath. ^13:22 Then I instructed the Levites to purify themselves and guard the gates in order to keep the Sabbath day holy. Remember me for this as well, O my God, and show me mercy according to Your abundant loving devotion.
