Deuteronomy 5:14

Context
5:14 but the seventh day is the Sabbath 1  of the Lord your God. On that day you must not do any work, you, your son, your daughter, your male slave, your female slave, your ox, your donkey, any other animal, or the foreigner who lives with you, 2  so that your male and female slaves, like yourself, may have rest.

1 tn There is some degree of paronomasia (wordplay) here: “the seventh (הַשְּׁבִיעִי, hashÿvii) day is the Sabbath (שַׁבָּת, shabbat).” Otherwise, the words have nothing in common, since “Sabbath” is derived from the verb שָׁבַת (shavat, “to cease”).

2 tn Heb “in your gates”; NRSV, CEV “in your towns”; TEV “in your country.”
