Deuteronomy 5:13 In-Context

11 "Do not misuse the name of the LORD your God. The LORD will find guilty anyone who misuses his name.

12 "Observe the Sabbath day. Keep it holy, just as the LORD your God commanded you.

13 Do all of your work in six days.

14 But the seventh day is a Sabbath in honor of the LORD your God. Do not do any work on that day. The same command applies to your sons and daughters, your male and female servants, your oxen, your donkeys and your other animals. It also applies to any outsiders who live in your cities. I want your male and female servants to rest, just as you do.

15 Remember that you were slaves in Egypt. The LORD your God reached out his mighty hand and powerful arm and brought you out of there. So he has commanded you to observe the Sabbath day.
