“I gave them
My statutes.
I showed them
My ordinances.
By their observance,
Everyone shall live.
Moreover
I gave them
My Sabbath,
As a sign
Between me
And them.
Thus they might know
That I,
Yahweh,
Sanctify them.”
Yahweh, in the first person singular, gave them his statutes and ordinances. He wanted them to observe them. If they did, everyone would live. He also gave them the Sabbath as a sign between him and them. Thus they would know that he, Yahweh, was going to sanctify them.
