“Tell the Israelites, ‘Surely you must keep My Sabbaths, for this will be a sign between Me and you for the generations to come, so that you may know that I am the LORD who sanctifies you.
Be doers of the word, and not hearers only. Otherwise, you are deceiving yourselves.

You must keep all My statutes and all My ordinances and follow them. I am the LORD.”
So then, whoever breaks one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do likewise will be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever practices and teaches them will be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are those who wash their robes, so that they may have the right to the tree of life and may enter the city by its gates.

I also gave them My Sabbaths as a sign between us, so that they would know that I am the LORD who sanctifies them.
You are to practice My judgments and keep My statutes by walking in them. I am the LORD your God.
