But is says to do so in the Bible.... so why do you not follow the bible?

Stats I already answered your question but you may have missed it upthread so I will try one last time.

Let's look at another similar example.

Exodus 31:14
"Ye shall keep the sabbath therefore; for it is holy unto you: every one that defileth it shall surely be put to death; for whosoever doeth any work therein, that soul shall be cut off from among his people."

According to your interpretation stats we should execute everyone we see working on Saturday?
Personally I feel that such an action would violate the Biblical prohibition on murder don't you?

What is the actual meaning? I think it means is that if we work 7 days a week we make slaves of ourselves separating ourselves from our families and communities and over the long run doing so is extremely bad for us even fatal. The Japanese call this Karōshi literally death from work.

The following five minute clip from Prager university covers this in more depth.

I have noticed that bible has a few stuff that contradict one another like that one and the problem is that we can't know and people are understanding is as they want to but as we know that one man didn't write the bible but a few of them, that can happen since they probably weren't writing the bible books over skype. :p
