Exodus 20:8 📚“Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. 9 📚Six days you are to labour, and do all your work; 10 📚but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the LORD your God. You shall not do any work in it, neither you, nor your son, nor your daughter, your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your cattle, nor your foreigner who is inside your gates; 11 📚for in six days📖 the LORD made the heaven📖 and the earth📖, the sea, and all that is in them, and ceased on the seventh day. Therefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day, and made📖 it holy.
20:8-11 Gen 2:2-3; Ex 23:12; 31:13-17; 34:21; 35:2-3; Deut 5:12-15; Isa 58:12-13. The Sabbath was a day of quietness, relaxation, and rest. It was also the day when Israel met together to worship God (Lev 23:3). God knew that man needed such a day after six days of work. The law had Saturday for their rest day. Christians now, no longer under the law (Rom 6:14), generally have Sunday as their rest day (Acts 20:7; 1 Cor 16:2). The particular day is not the important thing but the fact of having some day for rest and worship. In the whole of the New Testament there is no command to Christians to take Saturday (or any other day) as their day of rest.⚜
