Maka haruslah orang Israel memelihara hari Sabat, dengan merayakan sabat, turun-temurun, menjadi perjanjian kekal.
Maka sebab itu hendaklah segala bani Israel memeliharakan sabat itu dan memuliakan dia turun-temurun akan suatu perjanjian yang kekal selama-lamanya.

a perpetual covenant: Genesis 9:13, Genesis 17:11, Jeremiah 50:5
Reciprocal: Genesis 17:8 - everlasting Exodus 23:12 - Six days
Gill's Notes on the Bible
Wherefore the children of Israel shall keep the sabbath,.... On whom the sabbath of the seventh day was only enjoined, as well as that of the seventh and of the fiftieth years, being all ceremonial and shadowy:
to observe the sabbath throughout their generations; so long as the Mosaic dispensation lasted, and their civil polity and church state continued, even until the Messiah came, when all those Jewish shadows, rites, and ceremonies, fled away and disappeared,
for a perpetual covenant; just in the same sense as circumcision was, Genesis 17:13.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The penal law of the Sabbath. Exodus 35:2-3. In the fourth commandment the injunction to observe the seventh day is addressed to the conscience of the people (see Exodus 20:8 note): in this place, the object is to declare an infraction of the commandment to be a capital offence. The two passages stand in a relation to each other similar to that between Leviticus 18:0, Leviticus 19:0, and Leviticus 20:0. It seems likely that the penal edict was especially introduced as a caution in reference to the construction of the tabernacle, lest the people, in their zeal to carry on the work, should be tempted to break the divine law for the observance of the day.
Exodus 31:14
See Numbers 15:32-36. The distinction between the meaning of the two expressions, “to be cut off from the people”, and “to be put to death”, is here indicated. He who was cut off from the people had, by his offence, put himself out of the terms of the covenant, and was an outlaw. On such, and on such alone, when the offence was one which affected the well-being of the nation, as it was in this case, death could be inflicted by the public authority.
Exodus 31:17
Was refreshed - Literally, “he took breath”. Compare Exodus 23:12; 2 Samuel 16:14. The application of the word to the Creator, which occurs nowhere else, is remarkable.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Exodus 31:16. A perpetual covenant. — Because it is a sign of this future rest and blessedness, therefore the religious observance of it must be perpetually kept up. The type must continue in force till the antitype come.
