Exodus 20:9

The Ten Commandments

⁸ Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy: ⁹  You are to labor six days and do all your work, ¹⁰ but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the Lord your God. You must not do any work—you, your son or daughter, your male or female slave, your livestock, or the foreigner who is within your gates.
