4th Commandment: Remember the Sabbath day, to sanctify it. Six days you shall labor, and complete all your work. But on the seventh will be a Sabbath for the Lord your God. You shall do no work: Neither you, nor your son or your daughter, your man-servant or your maid-servant, your beasts or your stranger in your gates. For six days the Lord made the heavens, the earth, and the sea, and all that is in them, and he rested on the seventh day. For this reason did the Lord bless the seventh day and sanctify it.
5th Commandment: Honor your father and your mother, that you may lengthen your days on the land which the Lord your God has given you.
