Verses 3-7

//third and on the fourth is a saying, it means how ever many ... however many generations hating me. Like when we say “few” which can be 3 or 4, or 6 etc. //

Verses 8-11

`Remember the Sabbath-day to sanctify it;

six days

thou dost labour //Avad//,

and hast done all thy work,

and the seventh day

[is] a Sabbath

to Jehovah

thy God;

thou dost not do any work,

thou,

and thy son,

and thy daughter,

thy man-servant,

and thy handmaid,

and thy cattle,

and thy sojourner who is within thy gates, --

for six days hath Jehovah

made the heavens

and the earth,

the sea,

and all that [is] in them,

and resteth in the seventh day;

therefore hath Jehovah blessed the Sabbath-day,

and doth sanctify it.
