4. Remember the Sabbath Day to keep it holy.
The above is a traditional shortened verbiage for the 4th Commandment.
The actual text from Exodus 20:8-11 (NKJV) is:
“Remember the Sabbath Day to keep it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the Seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord your God. In it you shall do no work: you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger who is within your gates.
For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, and the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it.”
