Er ist ein ewiges Zeichen zwischen mir und den Kindern Israel. Denn in sechs Tagen machte der HERR Himmel und Erde; aber am siebenten Tage ruhte er und erquickte sich.
Señal es para siempre entre mí y los hijos de Israel; porque en seis días hizo Jehová los cielos y la tierra, y en el séptimo día cesó, y reposó.
Será una señal para siempre entre los israelitas y yo, porque en seis días Jehová hizo los cielos y la tierra, y el séptimo día cesó y tomó aliento”».
Ce sera entre moi et les enfants d'Israël un signe qui devra durer à perpétuité; car en six jours l'Eternel a fait les cieux et la terre, et le septième jour il a cessé son oeuvre et il s'est reposé.
Esso è un segnale perpetuo fra me e i figliuoli d’Israele; conciossiachè il Signore abbia in sei giorni fatto il cielo e la terra; e nel settimo giorno cessò, e si riposò.
Entre mim e os filhos de Israel será um sinal para sempre; porque em seis dias fez o SENHOR os céus e a terra, e ao sétimo dia descansou, e restaurou-se.
這是我和 以色列 人之間永遠的記號,因為六日之內耶和華造天地,第七日就安息舒暢。」
