| Observe the sabbath day and keep it holy, as the Lord your God commanded you. Six days you shall labor and do all your work.

For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, but rested the seventh day; therefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day and consecrated it. | Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.
