THE following word-for-word translation was made some years ago by Prof. A. Kunz, A.M., of Battle Creek, Mich. The Hebrew, like many other oriental languages, reads from right to left. The lines in Italics are a transliteration of the original, that is, putting into Roman letters the Hebrew words.

"Remember the day of the Sabbath [the rest] to keep it holy. Six days thou shalt work, and thou shalt perform all thy labor. But day the seventh is Sabbath to Jehovah thy God; [in it] thou shalt not do any labor; thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy servant, nor thy handmaid, nor thy beasts, nor thy sojourner, who is within thy gates. Because in six days Jehovah made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all which in them is; and he rested in the day the seventh; for this cause Jehovah blessed the day of the Sabbath and holy pronounced it."
