Deuteronomy 5:12-15

Common English Bible

¹² Keep the Sabbath day and treat it as holy, exactly as the Lord your God commanded: ¹³ Six days you may work and do all your tasks, ¹⁴ but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the Lord your God. Don’t do any work on it—not you, your sons or daughters, your male or female servants, your oxen or donkeys or any of your animals, or the immigrant who is living among you—so that your male and female servants can rest just like you. ¹⁵ Remember that you were a slave in Egypt, but the Lord your God brought you out of there with a strong hand and an outstretched arm. That’s why the Lord your God commands you to keep the Sabbath day.
