‏ Ezekiel 20:12

12 I also gave them my Sabbaths ^{▼▼sn Ezekiel’s contemporary, Jeremiah, also stressed the importance of obedience to the Sabbath law (Jer 17).} as a reminder of our relationship, ^{▼▼tn Heb “to become a sign between me and them.”} so that they would know that I, the Lord, sanctify them. ^{▼▼tn Or “set them apart.” The last phrase of verse 12 appears to be a citation of Exod 31:13.}
