Exodus 20:10-12

Contemporary English Version

¹⁰but the seventh day of each week belongs to me, your God. No one is to work on that day—not you, your children, your slaves, your animals, or the foreigners who live in your towns. ¹¹^(A) In six days I made the sky, the earth, the oceans, and everything in them, but on the seventh day I rested. That's why I made the Sabbath a special day that belongs to me.

¹²^(B) Respect your father and your mother, and you will live a long time in the land I am giving you.
