Deuteronomy 5:12
"Keep the sabbath day to sanctify it, as the LORD thy God hath commanded thee."

Commentary

Gill's Exposition

Keep the sabbath day to sanctify it,.... Or observe it, by setting it apart as a time of natural rest, and for the performance of holy and religious exercises; see

Exo 20:8 , where the phrase is a little varied, "remember the sabbath day to keep it holy"; it having been instituted before: as the Lord thy God hath commanded thee; not at Sinai only, for the same might then have been observed of all the rest of the commands, but before the giving of the law, at the first of the manna; see Exo 16:23 .
