Happy is the person who does this, the son of man who holds it fast, who keeps the Sabbath without desecrating it, and keeps his hand from doing any evil.No foreigner who has joined himself to the LORD should say,“ The LORD will exclude me from his people,” and the eunuch should not say,“ Look, I am a dried-up tree.”For the LORD says this:“ For the eunuchs who keep my Sabbaths, and choose what pleases me, and hold firmly to my covenant,I will give them, in my house and within my walls, a memorial and a name better than sons and daughters. I will give each of them an everlasting name that will never be cut off.As for the foreigners who join themselves to the LORD to minister to him, to love the name of the LORD, and to become his servants— all who keep the Sabbath without desecrating it and who hold firmly to my covenant—

He told them,“ This is what the LORD has said:‘ Tomorrow is a day of complete rest, a holy Sabbath to the LORD. Bake what you want to bake, and boil what you want to boil, and set aside everything left over to be kept until morning.’”So they set it aside until morning as Moses commanded, and it didn’t stink or have maggots in it.“ Eat it today,” Moses said,“ because today is a Sabbath to the LORD. Today you won’t find any in the field.For six days you will gather it, but on the seventh day, the Sabbath, there will be none.”Yet on the seventh day some of the people went out to gather, but they did not find any.Then the LORD said to Moses,“ How long will you refuse to keep my commands and instructions?Understand that the LORD has given you the Sabbath; therefore on the sixth day he will give you two days’ worth of bread. Each of you stay where you are; no one is to leave his place on the seventh day.”
