Everyone who profanes it shall surely be put to death; for whoever does any work on it, that person shall be cut off from among his people.15 Work shall be done for six days, but the seventh is the Sabbath of rest, holy to the LORD. Whoever does any work on the Sabbath day, he shall surely be put to death. 16 Therefore the children of Israel shall keep the Sabbath, to observe the Sabbath throughout their generations as a perpetual covenant. 17 It is a sign between Me and the children of Israel forever; for in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, and on the seventh day He rested and was refreshed.’” Exodus 40:17 17 And it came to pass in the first month of the second year, on the first day of the month, that the tabernacle was raised up.

Ezekiel 31:9 9 I made it beautiful with a multitude of branches, So that all the trees of Eden envied it, That were in the garden of God.’
