“Observe the Sabbath day, to keep it holy, as Yahweh your God commanded you.

Context

9You shall not bow yourself down to them, nor serve them; for I, Yahweh your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children and on the third and on the fourth generation of those who hate me;
10and showing loving kindness to thousands of those who love me and keep my commandments.
11“You shall not misuse the name of Yahweh your God; for Yahweh will not hold him guiltless who misuses his name.
12“Observe the Sabbath day, to keep it holy, as Yahweh your God commanded you.
13You shall labor six days, and do all your work;
14but the seventh day is a Sabbath to Yahweh your God, in which you shall not do any work— neither you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your ox, nor your donkey, nor any of your livestock, nor your stranger who is within your gates; that your male servant and your female servant may rest as well as you.
15You shall remember that you were a servant in the land of Egypt, and Yahweh your God brought you out of there by a mighty hand and by an outstretched arm. Therefore Yahweh your God commanded you to keep the Sabbath day.
