Leviticus 23:3

Six 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.

KJV

Sex diebus facietis opus : dies septimus, quia sabbati requies est, vocabitur sanctus : omne opus non facietis in eo : sabbatum Domini est in cunctis habitationibus vestris.

Vulgate

Ἓξ ἡμέρας ποιήσεις ἔργα, καὶ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ ἑβδόμῃ σάββατα ἀνάπαυσις κλητὴ ἁγία τῷ κυρίῳ· πᾶν ἔργον οὐ ποιήσεις, σάββατά ἐστιν τῷ κυρίῳ ὑμῶν ἐν πάσῃ κατοικίᾳ ὑμῶν.

LXX

Six days shall work be done: but on the seventh day is a sabbath of solemn rest, a holy convocation; ye shall do no manner of work: it is a sabbath unto Jehovah in all your dwellings.
