And on the seventh day (_on day the seventh_) God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day (_on day the seventh_) from all his work which he had made. And God blessed the seventh DAY (_the day the seventh_,) and sanctified it: because that in IT he had rested from all his work which God created and made.

Remember the Sabbath-DAY, (_the day of the rest, or Sabbath_,) to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labor, and do all thy work; but the seventh day (_day the seventh_) is the Sabbath (_rest_) of the Lord thy God: _in it_ thou shalt not do any manner of 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 Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them _is_, and rested the seventh day (_on day the seventh_;) wherefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath-DAY (_the day of the rest, or Sabbath_,) and hallowed IT.
