Deuteronomy 5:12-14

DEUTERONOMY—NOTE ON Deuteronomy 5:12 Sabbath rest also applies to domestic animals and to the sojourner who is within your gates. These were foreigners who became permanent residents in Israel and followed its rules but who could not own land (see note on 1:16–17). The work prohibited on the Sabbath is not defined here, but see Exodus 34:21; Exodus 35:3; Numbers 15:32.
