A 8 Remember the SABBATH day, to keep it holy.
- B 9 SIX days shalt thou labour,
  - C and do all thy WORK:
    - D 10 But the seventh day is the sabbath of Yahweh thy God:
  - C' 10 in it thou shalt not do any WORK, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:
- B' 11 For in SIX days Yahweh made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day:
A' 11 wherefore Yahweh blessed the SABBATH day, and hallowed it.
