Chasidut for Exodus 35:2
שֵׁ֣שֶׁת יָמִים֮ תֵּעָשֶׂ֣ה מְלָאכָה֒ וּבַיּ֣וֹם הַשְּׁבִיעִ֗י יִהְיֶ֨ה לָכֶ֥ם קֹ֛דֶשׁ שַׁבַּ֥ת שַׁבָּת֖וֹן לַיהוָ֑ה כָּל־הָעֹשֶׂ֥ה ב֛וֹ מְלָאכָ֖ה יוּמָֽת׃
Six days shall work be done, but on the seventh day there shall be to you a holy day, a sabbath of solemn rest to the LORD; whosoever doeth any work therein shall be put to death.
Kedushat Levi
Exodus 35,2. “but as far as the seventh day is concerned, it shall be holy for you;” it is to be understood as similar to what the sages said (Pessachim 68) concerning the festival days, which they view as חציו לה' וחציו לכם, “half for G-d and half for you.” On the Sabbath, even the לכם (“for you”) is for G-d. “...it shall be holy for you,” the for you is to be made holy.
