I also gave them my Sabbaths to serve as a sign between me and them, so that they would know that I am the LORD who consecrates them.

things we have heard and known and that our ancestors have passed down to us.We will not hide them from their children, but will tell a future generation the praiseworthy acts of the LORD, his might, and the wondrous works he has performed.He established a testimony in Jacob and set up a law in Israel, which he commanded our ancestors to teach to their childrenso that a future generation— children yet to be born— might know. They were to rise and tell their childrenso that they might put their confidence in God and not forget God’s works, but keep his commands.Then they would not be like their ancestors, a stubborn and rebellious generation, a generation whose heart was not loyal and whose spirit was not faithful to God.

“ Tell the Israelites: You must observe my Sabbaths, for it is a sign between me and you throughout your generations, so that you will know that I am the LORD who consecrates you.

“ This day is to be a memorial for you, and you must celebrate it as a festival to the LORD. You are to celebrate it throughout your generations as a permanent statute.

Even while I am old and gray, God, do not abandon me, while I proclaim your power to another generation, your strength to all who are to come.

“ When your son asks you in the future,‘ What is the meaning of the decrees, statutes, and ordinances that the LORD our God has commanded you?’tell him,‘ We were slaves of Pharaoh in Egypt, but the LORD brought us out of Egypt with a strong hand.

God, we have heard with our ears— our ancestors have told us— the work you accomplished in their days, in days long ago:

Instead, it is to be a witness between us and you, and between the generations after us, so that we may carry out the worship of the LORD in his presence with our burnt offerings, sacrifices, and fellowship offerings. Then in the future, your descendants will not be able to say to our descendants,‘ You have no share in the LORD!’

As for the firepans of those who sinned at the cost of their own lives, make them into hammered sheets as plating for the altar, for they presented them before the LORD, and the firepans are holy. They will be a sign to the Israelites.”

The living, only the living can thank you, as I do today; a father will make your faithfulness known to children.

Instead of the thornbush, a cypress will come up, and instead of the brier, a myrtle will come up; this will stand as a monument for the LORD, an everlasting sign that will not be destroyed.

Keep my Sabbaths holy, and they will be a sign between me and you, so you may know that I am the LORD your God.”
