Exodus 20:8-10
“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.”
This passage is from the book of Exodus, where Moses receives the Ten Commandments directly from God on Mount Sinai. These commands form the foundational laws for the newly freed Israelites, guiding their relationship with God and each other as they establish themselves as a nation.
What does this command about rest mean for our daily rhythms and responsibilities?
