EXODUS 20
8 "Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. 9 You shall labor six days, and do all your work, 10 but the seventh day is a Sabbath to The LORD your God. You shall not do any work in it, you, nor your son, nor your daughter, your man-servant, nor your maid-servant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger who is within your gates; 11 for in six days The LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day; therefore The LORD blessed the Sabbath day, and made it holy.
