“And remember that thou wast a servant in the land of Egypt, and that the Lord thy God brought thee out thence through a mighty hand and by a stretched out arm: therefore the Lord thy God commanded thee to keep the sabbath day.”
'And you shall remember that you were a servant in the land of Egypt, and that the LORD your God brought you out thence by a mighty hand and by an outstretched arm; therefore the LORD your God commanded you to keep the sabbath day' -- the sabbath is grounded in the exodus: as God liberated Israel from servitude, Israel grants servants and animals rest. Sabbath is memory made practice. The exodus memory becomes the foundation for humanitarian law.
