... | as Adonai your G-d has commanded. כַּאֲשֶׁר צִוְּךָ, יְהוָה אֱלֹהֶיךָ. | |
Six days you will work and do all of your labor. שֵׁשֶׁת יָמִים תַּעֲבֹד, וְעָשִׂיתָ כָּל-מְלַאכְתֶּךָ. | Six days you will work and do all of your labor. שֵׁשֶׁת יָמִים תַּעֲבֹד, וְעָשִׂיתָ כָּל-מְלַאכְתֶּךָ. | |
The seventh day is a Sabbath for Adonai your G-d. וְיוֹם, הַשְּׁבִיעִי--שַׁבָּת, לַיהוָה אֱלֹהֶיךָ: | The seventh day is a Sabbath for Adonai your G-d. וְיוֹם, הַשְּׁבִיעִי--שַׁבָּת, לַיהוָה אֱלֹהֶיךָ: | |

In six days G-d made Heaven and Earth, the Sea and all that dwell in it, and G-d rested on the seventh day. On account of that, G-d blessed the Shabbat day and set it apart. כִּי שֵׁשֶׁת-יָמִים עָשָׂה יְהוָה אֶת-הַשָּׁמַיִם וְאֶת-הָאָרֶץ, אֶת-הַיָּם וְאֶת-כָּל-אֲשֶׁר-בָּם, וַיָּנַח, בַּיּוֹם הַשְּׁבִיעִי; עַל-כֵּן, בֵּרַךְ יְהוָה אֶת-יוֹם הַשַּׁבָּת--וַיְקַדְּשֵׁהוּ. {ס} | ... | |
... | Remember that you were a slave in the Land of Egypt, and that Adonai your G-d took you out of there with a strong hand and outstretched arm, that is why Adonai your G-d has commanded you to make Shabbat. |
