but the seventh H7637 day H3117 is a sabbath H7676 of Yahweh H3068 your God H430; in it you shall not do H6213 any H3605 work H4399, you or your son H1121 or your daughter H1323 or your male H5650 slave H5650 or your female H519 slave H519 or your ox H7794 or your donkey H2543 or any H3605 of your cattle H929 or your sojourner H1616 who H834 is within your gates H8179, so H4616 that your male H5650 slave H5650 and your female H519 slave H519 may rest H5117 as well as you.
‘You shall remember H2142 that you were a slave H5650 in the land H776 of Egypt H4714, and Yahweh H3068 your God H430 brought H3318 you out H3318 of there H8033 with a mighty H2389 hand H3027 and with an outstretched H5186 arm H2220; therefore H5921 H3651 Yahweh H3068 your God H430 commanded H6680 you to observe H6213 the sabbath H7676 day H3117.
“These H428 words H1697 Yahweh H3068 spoke H1696 to all H3605 your assembly H6951 at the mountain H2022 from the midst H8432 of the fire H784, of the cloud H6051 and of the dense H6205 gloom H6205, with a great H1419 voice H6963, and He added H3254 no H3808 more H3254. He wrote H3789 them on two H8147 tablets H3871 of stone H68 and gave H5414 them to me.
“And Yahweh H3068 heard H8085 the voice H6963 of your words H1697 when you spoke H1696 to me, and Yahweh H3068 said H559 to me, ‘I have heard H8085 the voice H6963 of the words H1697 of this H2088 people H5971 which H834 they have spoken H1696 to you. They have done H3190 well H3190 in all H3605 that they have spoken H1696.
