Kill whosoever does work in the Sabbath.

Exodus 35:1-2 (King James Version)

1And Moses gathered all the congregation of the children of Israel together, and said unto them, These are the words which the LORD hath commanded, that ye should do them.

2Six days shall work be done, but on the seventh day there shall be to you an holy day, a Sabbath of rest to the LORD: whosoever doeth work therein shall be put to death.

---------------------

The LORD rested, was refreshed and took a long, deep breath in the Sabbath

Exodus 31:12-18 (King James Version)

12And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

13Speak thou also unto the children of Israel, saying, Verily my Sabbaths ye shall keep: for it is a sign between me and you throughout your generations; that ye may know that I am the LORD that doth sanctify you.

14Ye shall keep the Sabbath therefore; for it is holy unto you: every one that defileth it shall surely be put to death: for whosoever doeth any work therein, that soul shall be cut off from among his people.

15Six days may work be done; but in the seventh is the Sabbath of rest, holy to the LORD: whosoever doeth any work in the Sabbath day, he shall surely be put to death.

16Wherefore the children of Israel shall keep the Sabbath, to observe the Sabbath throughout their generations, for a perpetual covenant.

17It is a sign between me and the children of Israel for ever: for in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed. (In other versions – the message-: and took a long, deep breath; and this is the correct translation).

---------------------

The LORD rested in the Sabbath; that is why do not work in it

Exodus 20:8-11 (King James Version)

8Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.

9Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:

10But the seventh day is the Sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:

11For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day, and hallowed it.

---------------------

You have to rest in the Sabbath

Exodus 23:12 (King James Version)

12Six days thou shalt do thy work, and on the seventh day thou shalt rest: that thine ox and thine ass may rest, and the son of thy handmaid, and the stranger, may be refreshed.

Exodus 34:21 (King James Version)

21Six days thou shalt work, but on the seventh day thou shalt rest: in earing time and in harvest thou shalt rest.

---------------------

Do no work in the Sabbath

Leviticus 23:3 (King James Version)

3Six days shall work be done: but the seventh day is the Sabbath of rest, an holy convocation; ye shall do no work therein: it is the Sabbath of the LORD in all your dwellings.

Deuteronomy 5:12-15 (King James Version)

12Keep the Sabbath day to sanctify it, as the LORD thy God hath commanded thee.

13Six days thou shalt labour, and do all thy work:

14But the seventh day is the Sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, nor thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thine ox, nor thine ass, nor any of thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates; that thy manservant and thy maidservant may rest as well as thou.

15And remember that thou wast a servant in the land of Egypt, and that the LORD thy God brought thee out thence through a mighty hand and by a stretched out arm: therefore the LORD thy God commanded thee to keep the Sabbath day.

The Sabbath in the Quran:

Chapter 50 (QAF): 38

[50:38] "and verily, We created the heavens and the earth and all between them in six days, and no any sense of weariness or fatigue touched us."

And verily, Allah created the heavens and the earth, and all that is between them, in six days, and no weariness, no tiredness, no drowsiness, no fatigue, no exhaustion touched Us: this was revealed as a refutation of the Jews’ claim that God rested on the Saturday and lay down upon the Throne. The preclusion of weariness in His case is [absolute] on account of His transcending of the attributes of creatures and the non-existence of any contiguity between Him and other [beings]: The enemies of Allah have lied against Allah. His command, when He wills a thing, is just to say to it ‘Be’, and it is [Read 36:82]. Also, the six days of creation are not 24 hours days like our days!

In addition, Muslims can work everyday; there is no forbidden day like the Sabbath in Islam.

-----------------

What if the Quran was the Book which commands to kill the uncircumcised, to kill the one who curses his parents, to kill the Gay, to kill the man and the woman Zoosexual together with the animal (the beast) or to kill whosoever does work in the Sabbath? What the Western Media would have said? What names they would have given the Quran in such case?

Back to the main issue of my series of articles; this is my question to you smart readers: "Is the Quran quoted from the Bible?"
