Isaiah 58:13
You must observe the Sabbath rather than doing anything you please on my holy day. You must look forward to the Sabbath and treat the LORD’s holy day with respect.

Isaiah 56:2-6
The people who do this will be blessed, the people who commit themselves to obedience, who observe the Sabbath and do not defile it, who refrain from doing anything that is wrong.No foreigner who becomes a follower of the LORD should say,‘ The LORD will certainly exclude me from his people.’ The eunuch should not say,‘ Look, I am like a dried-up tree.’”For this is what the LORD says:“ For the eunuchs who observe my Sabbaths and choose what pleases me and are faithful to my covenant,I will set up within my temple and my walls a monument that will be better than sons and daughters. I will set up a permanent monument for them that will remain.As for foreigners who become followers of the LORD and serve him, who love the name of the LORD and want to be his servants– all who observe the Sabbath and do not defile it, and who are faithful to my covenant–

Exodus 16:23-29
He said to them,“ This is what the LORD has said:‘ Tomorrow is a time of cessation from work, a holy Sabbath to the LORD. Whatever you want to bake, bake today; whatever you want to boil, boil today; whatever is left put aside for yourselves to be kept until morning.’”So they put it aside until the morning, just as Moses had commanded, and it did not stink, nor were there any worms in it.Moses said,“ Eat it today, for today is a Sabbath to the LORD; today you will not find it in the area.Six days you will gather it, but on the seventh day, the Sabbath, there will not be any.”On the seventh day some of the people went out to gather it, but they found nothing.So the LORD said to Moses,“ How long do you refuse to obey my commandments and my instructions?See, because the LORD has given you the Sabbath, that is why he is giving you food for two days on the sixth day. Each of you stay where you are; let no one go out of his place on the seventh day.”

Deuteronomy 5:12-15
Be careful to observe the Sabbath day just as the LORD your God has commanded you.You are to work and do all your tasks in six days,but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the LORD your God. On that day you must not do any work, you, your son, your daughter, your male slave, your female slave, your ox, your donkey, any other animal, or the foreigner who lives with you, so that your male and female slaves, like yourself, may have rest.Recall that you were slaves in the land of Egypt and that the LORD your God brought you out of there by strength and power. That is why the LORD your God has commanded you to observe the Sabbath day.

Exodus 31:13-17
“ Tell the Israelites,‘ Surely you must keep my Sabbaths, for it is a sign between me and you throughout your generations, that you may know that I am the LORD who sanctifies you.So you must keep the Sabbath, for it is holy for you. Everyone who defiles it must surely be put to death; indeed, if anyone does any work on it, then that person will be cut off from among his people.Six days work may be done, but on the seventh day is a Sabbath of complete rest, holy to the LORD; anyone who does work on the Sabbath day must surely be put to death.The Israelites must keep the Sabbath by observing the Sabbath throughout their generations as a perpetual covenant.It is a sign between me and the Israelites forever; for in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, and on the seventh day he rested and was refreshed.’”
