Spurgeon's Puritan Catechism Question 49. Which is the Fourth Commandment?

1. A. The fourth commandment is,
“Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy. Six days you
shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is a sabbath
to the LORD your God. On it you shall not do any work, neither
you, nor your son or daughter, nor your male or female servant,
nor your animals, nor any foreigner residing in your towns. For
in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, the sea,
and all that is in them, but he rested on the seventh day. Therefore
the LORD blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy."(Exodus
20:8-11)
“‘Observe the Sabbath day, to keep it holy, as the LORD your God
commanded you. For six days you shall labour and do all your
work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the LORD your God. On
it you shall not do any work, you or your son or your daughter or
your male servant or your female servant, or your ox or your
donkey or any of your livestock, or the sojourner who is within
your gates, that your male servant and your female servant may
rest as well as you. You shall remember that you were a slave in
the land of Egypt, and the LORD your God brought you out from
there with a mighty hand and an outstretched arm. Therefore the
LORD your God commanded you to keep the Sabbath day.
(Deuteronomy 5:12-15)
