⁸ `Remember the Sabbath-day to sanctify it;

⁹ six days thou dost labour, and hast done all thy work,

¹⁰ and the seventh day `is' a Sabbath to Jehovah thy God; thou dost not do any work, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, thy man-servant, and thy handmaid, and thy cattle, and thy sojourner who is within thy gates, --

¹¹ for six days hath Jehovah made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that `is' in them, and resteth in the seventh day; therefore hath Jehovah blessed the Sabbath-day, and doth sanctify it.

¹⁹ I `am' Jehovah your God, in My statutes walk, And My judgments observe, and do them,

²⁰ And My sabbaths sanctify, And they have been for a sign between Me and you, To know that I, Jehovah, `am' your God.

¹² `Observe the day of the sabbath -- to sanctify it, as Jehovah thy God hath commanded thee;

¹³ six days thou dost labour, and hast done all thy work,

¹⁴ and the seventh day `is' a sabbath to Jehovah thy God; thou dost not do any work, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy man-servant, and thy handmaid, and thine ox, and thine ass, and all thy cattle, and thy sojourner who `is' within thy gates; so that thy man-servant, and thy handmaid doth rest like thyself;

¹³ If thou dost turn from the sabbath thy foot, Doing thine own pleasure on My holy day, And hast cried to the sabbath, `A delight,' To the holy of Jehovah, `Honoured,' And hast honoured it, without doing thine own ways, Without finding thine own pleasure, And speaking a word.

¹⁴ Then dost thou delight thyself on Jehovah, And I have caused thee to ride on high places of earth, And have caused thee to eat the inheritance of Jacob thy father, For the mouth of Jehovah hath spoken!

³ and she hath not been able any more to hide him, and she taketh for him an ark of rushes, and daubeth it with bitumen and with pitch, and putteth the lad in it, and putteth `it' in the weeds by the edge of the River;

²³ And it came to pass -- he is going along on the sabbaths through the corn-fields -- and his disciples began to make a way, plucking the ears,

²⁴ and the Pharisees said to him, `Lo, why do they on the sabbaths that which is not lawful?'

²⁵ And he said to them, `Did ye never read what David did, when he had need and was hungry, he and those with him?

²⁶ how he went into the house of God, (at `Abiathar the chief priest,') and the loaves of the presentation did eat, which it is not lawful to eat, except to the priests, and he gave also to those who were with him?'

²⁷ And he said to them, `The sabbath for man was made, not man for the sabbath,

²⁸ so that the son of man is lord also of the sabbath.'

¹² How much better, therefore, is a man than a sheep? -- so that it is lawful on the sabbaths to do good.'

⁵ One doth judge one day above another, and another doth judge every day `alike'; let each in his own mind be fully assured.

¹⁶ Let no one, then, judge you in eating or in drinking, or in respect of a feast, or of a new moon, or of sabbaths,

¹⁷ which are a shadow of the coming things, and the body `is' of the Christ;

² `My sabbaths ye do keep, and My sanctuary ye do reverence; I `am' Jehovah.

³ six days is work done, and in the seventh day `is' a sabbath of rest, a holy convocation; ye do no work; it `is' a sabbath to Jehovah in all your dwellings.

¹¹ May we be diligent, then, to enter into that rest, that no one in the same example of the unbelief may fall,

¹⁰ And he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the sabbath,

¹¹ and lo, there was a woman having a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and she was bowed together, and not able to bend back at all,

¹² and Jesus having seen her, did call `her' near, and said to her, `Woman, thou hast been loosed from thy infirmity;'

¹³ and he laid on her `his' hands, and presently she was set upright, and was glorifying God.

¹⁴ And the chief of the synagogue answering -- much displeased that on the sabbath Jesus healed -- said to the multitude, `Six days there are in which it behoveth `us' to be working; in these, then, coming, be healed, and not on the sabbath-day.'

¹⁵ Then the Lord answered him and said, `Hypocrite, doth not each of you on the sabbath loose his ox or ass from the stall, and having led away, doth water `it'?

¹⁶ and this one, being a daughter of Abraham, whom the Adversary bound, lo, eighteen years, did it not behove to be loosed from this bond on the sabbath-day?'

¹⁷ And he saying these things, all who were opposed to him were being ashamed, and all the multitude were rejoicing over all the glorious things that are being done by him.

¹⁵ and thou hast remembered that a servant thou hast been in the land of Egypt, and Jehovah thy God is bringing thee out thence by a strong hand, and by a stretched-out arm; therefore hath Jehovah thy God commanded thee to keep the day of the sabbath.
