After the detailed description of the design of the Mishkan and the chief architects and builders, God reminds the people to keep Shabbat:

“And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: Speak to the children of Israel, saying: ‘Surely you shall keep My Sabbaths, for it is a sign between Me and you throughout your generations, that you may know that I am the Lord who sanctifies you.’”

וַיֹּאמֶר ה׳ אֶל־מֹשֶׁה לֵּאמֹר׃ וְאַתָּה דַּבֵּר אֶל־בְּנֵי־יִשְׂרָאֵל לֵאמֹר אַךְ אֶת־שַׁבְּתֹתַי תִּשְׁמֹרוּ כִּי אוֹת הִוא בֵּינִי וּבֵינֵיכֶם לְדֹרֹתֵיכֶם לָדַעַת כִּי אֲנִי ה׳ מְקַדִּשְׁכֶם׃ (שמות ל״א:י״ב–י״ג)
