Remember the sabbath day—keep it holy.[a] Six days you may labor and do all your work, 10 but the seventh day is a sabbath of the Lord your God.(A) You shall not do any work, either you, your son or your daughter, your male or female slave, your work animal, or the resident alien within your gates. 11 For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea and all that is in them; but on the seventh day he rested.(B) That is why the Lord has blessed the sabbath day and made it holy.[b]

  1. 20:8 Keep it holy: i.e., to set it apart from the other days of the week, in part, as the following verse explains, by not doing work that is ordinarily done in the course of a week. The special importance of this command can be seen in the fact that, together with vv. 9–11, it represents the longest of the Decalogue’s precepts.
  2. 20:11 Here, in a formulation which reflects Priestly theology, the veneration of the sabbath is grounded in God’s own hallowing of the sabbath in creation. Compare 31:13; Dt 5:15.

“Remember the Sabbath(A) day by keeping it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work,(B) 10 but the seventh day is a sabbath(C) to the Lord your God. On it you shall not do any work, neither you, nor your son or daughter, nor your male or female servant, nor your animals, nor any foreigner residing in your towns. 11 For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth,(D) the sea, and all that is in them, but he rested(E) on the seventh day.(F) Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy.
