Therefore watch, and remember that for three years I did not cease to warn everyone night and day with tears.

Kutsal tutmak için Şabat gününü hatırlayın. Altı gün çalışacak, bütün işlerinizi yapacaksınız; ama yedinci gün Tanrınız RAB'bin Şabat Günü'dür. O gün ne siz, ne oğlunuz, ne kızınız, ne erkek köleniz, ne kadın köleniz, ne hayvanlarınız, ne de kapılarınızda yaşayan yabancılar hiçbir iş yapmayacaksınız. Çünkü Rab gökleri, yeri, denizi ve bunların içinde bulunan her şeyi altı günde yarattı ve yedinci gün dinlendi. Bu nedenle Rab Şabat Günü'nü kutsadı ve onu kutsal kıldı.

And he cried with a loud voice to the four angels to whom it was granted to harm the earth and the sea, saying, “Do not harm the earth, the sea, or the trees till we have sealed the servants of our God on their foreheads.
