A Sabbath Chiasm in Exodus 31:12-18




  • V12 – YHVH spoke to Moses
    • V13 – A sign between you & me
      • V13 – Throughout your generations
        • V14 – You will keep the Sabbath
          • V14 – Holiness & consequences
            • V15 – Work 6 days & rest on the 7th.
          • V15 – Holiness & consequences
        • V16 – Israel will keep the Sabbath
      • V16 – Throughout their generations
    • V17 – A sign between me & Israel
  • V18 – YHVH gave to Moses

More than almost anything else, the seventh day Sabbath conspicuously sets God's people apart from the rest of the world.

[Corrected to include vs 12 and 18.]
