A. The fourth commandment is,
Remember the sabbath-day to keep it holy.
Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: but the seventh day is the
sabbath of the thy God: in
it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy
man-servant, nor thy maid-servant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within
thy gates: For in six days the
made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh
day: wherefore the blessed
the sabbath-day, and hallowed it.1
