Ex. 23:11      Ex. 23:13

Exodus 23:12

You shall work six days, but on the seventh day you shall rest (keep the Sabbath). When you do this, your ox and your donkey will rest, and the day of rest will also give the son of the slave woman and the stranger (the guest worker) time to recover.
[The word "recover" is a rich word that can be literally translated as "to breathe out" or "for someone to breathe on you." It shares the same Hebrew root as the word for soul and life, and brings to mind the creation in Gen. 2:7 where God breathed life into the first human. The day of rest is a day when we allow God to breathe on us again. Life is restored and recreated in humanity.]
