Counter-Arguments

The strongest case that this verse does not belong in this theme.

Sabbath at Creation

The verse explicitly states that the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord and details who should not work on it, but it makes no mention of creation or God resting on the seventh day.

Jesus and the Sabbath

This verse is from the Old Testament book of Deuteronomy and predates Jesus's earthly ministry by many centuries, therefore it cannot directly show Jesus keeping, teaching on, or discussing the Sabbath.

Seventh-Day Sabbath

There is no argument that this verse does not support the theme "Seventh-Day Sabbath" as it explicitly states, "But the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God."

Sabbath Commandment

This verse does not explicitly use the word "commandment" or "law," so one could argue it is a directive rather than a formal commandment.
