Context

The Ten Commandments

¹²Observe the Sabbath day by keeping it holy, as the LORD your God has commanded you.¹³Six days you shall labor and do all your work,¹⁴but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the LORD your God, on which you must not do any work—neither you, nor your son or daughter, nor your manservant or maidservant, nor your ox or donkey or any of your livestock, nor the foreigner within your gates, so that your manservant and maidservant may rest as you do.

Summary

In Deuteronomy 5:13, the Sabbath commandment is reiterated, emphasizing the importance of resting and dedicating one day a week to the Lord. This verse serves as a reminder of God's provision and care for His people, instructing them to follow His example of resting after creation. Observing the Sabbath not only honors God but also allows for physical, emotional, and spiritual rejuvenation, promoting a balanced and healthy lifestyle. By setting aside time for rest and worship, believers demonstrate their trust in God's sovereignty and acknowledge His lordship over all aspects of their lives.
