YHWH
spoke again to Moshe [Moses], saying, "Speak to the sons of
Yisra'el and
say to them, 'YHWH's appointed times which you shall proclaim as
holy convocations--My appointed times are these: 'For six days work may
be done, but on the seventh day there is a sabbath of complete rest, a
holy convocation. You shall not do any work; it is a sabbath to YHWH in all your dwellings. 'These are the appointed times of
YHWH, holy
convocations which you shall proclaim at the times appointed for them.
