Exodus 20:11 in Context — Exodus 20

9 Tu travailleras six jours, et tu feras tout ton ouvrage.

10 Mais le septième jour est le jour du repos de l’Éternel, ton Dieu: tu ne feras aucun ouvrage, ni toi, ni ton fils, ni ta fille, ni ton serviteur, ni ta servante, ni ton bétail, ni l’étranger qui est dans tes portes.

11 Car en six jours l’Éternel a fait les cieux, la terre et la mer, et tout ce qui y est contenu, et il s’est reposé le septième jour: c’est pourquoi l’Éternel a béni le jour du repos et l’a sanctifié.

12 Honore ton père et ta mère, afin que tes jours se prolongent dans le pays que l’Éternel, ton Dieu, te donne.

13 Tu ne tueras point.
