Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.

Speak also to the children of Israel, saying, Take heed and keep My Sabbaths; [for] they are a sign between Me and you throughout your generations, that you may know that I am the Lord that sanctifies you.

Keep the Sabbath day to sanctify it, as the Lord your God has commanded you.

but on the seventh day [is] the Sabbath of the Lord your God: you shall do in it no work, neither you, your son, your daughter, your male servant, your female servant, your ox, your donkey, your livestock, nor the stranger that sojourns in the midst of you; that your male servant may rest, and your maid and your ox, as well as you.

And it came to pass, when the gates were set up in Jerusalem, before the Sabbath, that I spoke, and they shut the gates; and I gave orders that they should not be opened till after the Sabbath. And I set [some] of my servants at the gates, that none should bring [in] burdens on the Sabbath day.

Then I testified against them, and said to them, Why do you lodge in front of the wall? If you do so again, I will stretch out my hand upon you. From that time they came not on the Sabbath.
