V'sham'ru B'nei Yisrael

V'sham'ru b'nei Yisrael et hashabbat, laasot et hashabbat l'dorotam b'rit olam:

Beini uvein beini yisrael, ot-hi l'olam, ki sheshet yamim asa adonai et hashamayim v'et ha'aretz, uvayom ha'shvi'i shabbat vayinafash.

And the children of Israel shall keep the Sabbath, to observe the Sabbath throughout their generations, for an everlasting covenant. It is a sign between me and the children of Israel for ever, that in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and ceased from his work.
