New Testament

Deuteronomy 5:8-15 Tree Of Life Version (TLV)

8. ‘Do not make for yourself a graven image—no image of what is in the heavens above or on the earth beneath or in the water under the earth.

9. Do not bow down to them or worship them. For I, Adonai your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children and on the third and fourth generation of those who hate Me,

10. but showing lovingkindness to a thousand generations of those who love Me and keep My mitzvot.

11. ‘You must not take the Name of Adonai your God in vain, for Adonai will not leave unpunished anyone who takes His Name in vain.

12. ‘Observe Yom Shabbat to keep it holy, as Adonai your God commanded you.

13. Six days you are to labor and do all your work,

14. but the seventh day is a Shabbat to Adonai your God. In it you are not to do any work—not you or your son or your daughter, or your slave or your maid, or your ox, your donkey or any of your livestock or the outsider within your gates, so that your slave and your maid may rest as you do.

15. You must remember that you were a slave in the land of Egypt, and Adonai your God brought you out from there with a mighty hand and an outstretched arm. Therefore Adonai your God commanded you to keep Yom Shabbat.
