12 Observe the sabbath day and keep it holy, as the Lord your God commanded you. 13For six days you shall labour and do all your work. 14But the seventh day is a sabbath to the Lord your God; you shall not do any workyou, or your son or your daughter, or your male or female slave, or your ox or your donkey, or any of your livestock, or the resident alien in your towns, so that your male and female slave may rest as well as you.
20 When your children ask you in time to come, What is the meaning of the decrees and the statutes and the ordinances that the Lord our God has commanded you? 21then you shall say to your children, We were Pharaohs slaves in Egypt, but the Lord brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand. 12Remember that you were a slave in Egypt, and diligently observe these statutes.
13 You shall keep the festival of booths* for seven days, when you have gathered in the produce from your threshing-floor and your wine press. 14Rejoice during your festival, you and your sons and your daughters, your male and female slaves, as well as the Levites, the strangers, the orphans, and the widows resident in your towns.
