You may not go down on your faces before them or give them worship: for I, the Lord your God, am a God who will not give his honour to another; and I will send punishment on the children for the wrongdoing of their fathers, to the third and fourth generation of my haters;

Keep the Sabbath day as a holy day, as you have been ordered by the Lord your God.

On six days do all your work:
