Counter-Arguments

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

Sabbath at Creation

The verse does not mention creation or God resting on the seventh day. It only refers to the Sabbath as something already given by the Lord, and then gives instructions for its observance.

Seventh-Day Sabbath

This verse does not explicitly define "Sabbath" or "rest day," nor does it state that the seventh day *is* the Sabbath, only that the Lord has given the Sabbath and that people should not go out on the seventh day.

Sabbath Commandment

While the verse describes a specific instruction regarding the Sabbath, it does not explicitly state that the Sabbath itself is a commandment or part of a larger law, but rather that the Lord "hath given" it. The instruction to "abide ye every man in his place" is a directive for Sabbath observance, not a declaration of the Sabbath's status as a commandment.
