Counter-Arguments

The strongest case that this verse does not belong in this theme.

Sabbath at Creation

The verse explicitly states "To morrow is the rest of the holy sabbath unto the Lord" and gives instructions for preparing food, but it makes no direct or indirect mention of creation or God resting on the seventh day at creation.

Seventh-Day Sabbath

The verse refers to "the holy sabbath" and a day of "rest," but it does not explicitly state that this sabbath is the *seventh* day.

Sabbath Commandment

While the verse describes a Sabbath observance, it does not explicitly state that this observance is a commandment or part of a larger legal code, but rather presents it as something "the Lord hath said."
