Jubilees 50:1-13

¹And after this law I made known to you the days of the Sabbaths in the desert of Sin[ai], which is between Elim and Sinai.

²And I told you of the Sabbaths of the land on Mount Sinai, and I told you of the jubilee years in the sabbaths of years; but the year of it I have not told you until you enter the land which you are to possess.

³And the land also shall keep its sabbaths while they dwell upon it, and they shall know the jubilee year.

⁴Therefore I have ordained for you the year-weeks and the years and the jubilees: there are forty-nine jubilees from the days of Adam until this day, [2410 A.M.] and one week and two years; and there are still forty years to come for learning the [2450 A.M.] commandments of the Lord, until they pass over into the land of Canaan, crossing the Jordan to the west.

⁵And the jubilees shall pass by, until Israel is cleansed from all guilt of fornication, and uncleanness, and pollution, and sin, and error, and dwells with confidence in all the land, and there shall no longer be a Satan or any evil one, and the land shall be clean from that time forevermore.

⁶And behold, the commandment regarding the Sabbaths—I have written them down for you—and all the judgments of its laws.

⁷Six days you shall labor, but on the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord your God. On it you shall do no manner of work, you and your sons, and your menservants and your maidservants, and all your cattle, and the sojourner also who is with you.

⁸And the man who does any work on it shall die: whoever desecrates that day, whoever lies with his wife, or whoever says he will do something on it, that he will set out on a journey on it in regard to any buying or selling; and whoever draws water on it which he had not prepared for himself on the sixth day, and whoever takes up any burden to carry it out of his tent or out of his house shall die.

⁹You shall do no work whatever on the Sabbath day except what you have prepared for yourselves on the sixth day, so as to eat, and drink, and rest, and keep Sabbath from all work on that day, and to bless the Lord your God, who has given you a day of festival and a holy day; and this day is a day of the holy kingdom for all Israel among their days forever.

¹⁰For great is the honor which the Lord has given to Israel, that they should eat and drink and be satisfied on this festival day, and rest on it from all labor which belongs to the labor of the children of men, except burning frankincense and bringing oblations and sacrifices before the Lord for days and for Sabbaths.

¹¹This work alone shall be done on the Sabbath days in the sanctuary of the Lord your God, that they may atone for Israel with sacrifice continually from day to day for a memorial well-pleasing before the Lord, and that He may receive them always from day to day, just as you have been commanded.

¹²And every man who does any work on it, or goes on a journey, or tills his farm, whether in his house or in any other place, and whoever lights a fire, or rides on any beast, or travels by ship on the sea, and whoever strikes or kills anything, or slaughters a beast or a bird, or whoever catches an animal or a bird or a fish, or whoever fasts or makes war on the Sabbaths—

¹³the man who does any of these things on the Sabbath shall die, so that the children of Israel shall observe the Sabbaths according to the commandments regarding the Sabbaths of the land, as it is written in the tablets, which He gave into my hands that I should write out for you the laws of the seasons, and the seasons according to the division of their days. Herewith is completed the account of the division of the days.
