Deuteronomy 5:13 In-Context

11 "You must not use the name of the Lord your God thoughtlessly, because the Lord will punish anyone who uses his name in this way.

12 "Keep the Sabbath as a holy day, as the Lord your God has commanded you.

13 You may work and get everything done during six days each week,

14 but the seventh day is a day of rest to honor the Lord your God. On that day no one may do any work: not you, your son or daughter, your male or female slaves, your ox, your donkey, or any of your animals, or the foreigners living in your cities. That way your servants may rest as you do.

15 Remember that you were slaves in Egypt and that the Lord your God brought you out of there by his great power and strength. So the Lord your God has commanded you to rest on the Sabbath day.
