Exodus 16:23-29
New American Standard Bible 1995
23 then he said to them, “This is what the Lord [a]meant: (A)Tomorrow is a sabbath observance, a holy sabbath to the Lord. Bake what you will bake and boil what you will boil, and (B)all that is left over [b]put aside to be kept until morning.” 24 So they [c]put it aside until morning, as Moses had ordered, and (C)it did not become foul nor was there any worm in it. 25 Moses said, “Eat it today, for today is a sabbath to the Lord; today you will not find it in the field. 26 (D)Six days you shall gather it, but on the seventh day, the sabbath, there will be [d]none.”
27 It came about on the seventh day that some of the people went out to gather, but they found none. 28 Then the Lord said to Moses, “(E)How long do you refuse to keep My commandments and My [e]instructions? 29 See, [f]the Lord has given you the sabbath; therefore He gives you bread for two days on the sixth day. Remain every man in his place; let no man go out of his place on the seventh day.”

Isaiah 56:2-6
New American Standard Bible 1995
2 “How (A)blessed is the man who does this,
And the son of man who (B)takes hold of it;
Who (C)keeps from profaning the sabbath,
And keeps his hand from doing any evil.”
3 Let not the (D)foreigner who has joined himself to the Lord say,
“The Lord will surely separate me from His people.”
Nor let the (E)eunuch say, “Behold, I am a dry tree.”
4 For thus says the Lord,
“To the eunuchs who (F)keep My sabbaths,
And choose what pleases Me,
And (G)hold fast My covenant,
5 To them I will give in My (H)house and within My (I)walls a memorial,
And a name better than that of sons and daughters;
I will give [a]them an everlasting (J)name which (K)will not be cut off.
6 “Also the (L)foreigners who join themselves to the Lord,
To minister to Him, and to love the name of the Lord,
To be His servants, every one who (M)keeps from profaning the sabbath
And holds fast My covenant;

Keeping the Sabbath
13 “If because of the sabbath, you (A)turn your foot
From doing your own pleasure on My holy day,
And call the sabbath a (B)delight, the holy day of the Lord honorable,
And honor it, desisting from your (C)own ways,
From seeking your own pleasure
And (D)speaking your own word,
