Deuteronomy 5:12New English TranslationBe careful to observe the Sabbath day just as the Lord your God has commanded you. See the chapter |
You must observe the Sabbath rather than doing anything you please on my holy day. You must look forward to the Sabbath and treat the Lord’s holy day with respect. You must treat it with respect by refraining from your normal activities, and by refraining from your selfish pursuits and from making business deals.
