Exodus 20:8-11
““Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days you shall labor, and do all your work; but the seventh day is a Sabbath to Yahweh your God. You shall not do any work in it, you, nor your son, nor your daughter, your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your livestock, nor your stranger who is within your gates; for in six days Yahweh made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day; therefore Yahweh blessed the Sabbath day, and made it holy.””
This passage is from the book of Exodus, where Moses receives the Ten Commandments from God on Mount Sinai. These commandments established the foundational laws for the newly freed Israelite community, guiding their relationship with God and each other.
What does it mean to create a space for rest and holiness, personally and communally, in your own life today?
