Exodus 31
13 Speak thou also unto the children of Israel, saying, Verily my SABBATHS ye shall KEEP: for it is a SIGN between ME and YOU throughout your GENERATIONS; that ye may know that I am the Lord that doth sanctify you.
14 Ye shall keep the sabbath therefore; for it is HOLY UNTO YOU: every one that DEFILETH it shall SURELY be put to DEATH: for WHOSOEVER doeth any WORK therein, THAT SOUL shall be CUT OFF from among his people.

Isaiah 56
Thus saith the Lord, Keep ye judgment, and do justice: for my salvation is near to come, and my righteousness to be revealed.
2 Blessed is the man that doeth this, and the son of man that layeth hold on it; that keepeth the sabbath from polluting it, and keepeth his hand from doing any evil.
3 Neither let the son of the stranger, that hath joined himself to the Lord, speak, saying, The Lord hath utterly separated me from his people: neither let the eunuch say, Behold, I am a dry tree.
4 For thus saith the Lord unto the eunuchs that KEEP my SABBATHS, and choose the things that please me, and TAKE HOLD of my COVENANT;
5 Even unto them will I give in mine house and within my walls a place and a name better than of sons and of daughters: I will give them an everlasting name, that shall not be cut off.
6 Also the sons of the stranger, that join themselves to the Lord, to serve him, and to love the name of the Lord, to be his servants, every one that keepeth the sabbath from polluting it, and taketh hold of my covenant;
7 Even them will I bring to my holy mountain, and make them joyful in my house of prayer: their burnt offerings and their sacrifices shall be accepted upon mine altar; for mine house shall be called an house of prayer for all people.
