Counter-Arguments

Sabbath Commandment

While the verse describes a practice of resting on the seventh day, it does not explicitly state that this practice is a "commandment" or part of a larger "law" or "Ten Commandments."

Sabbath at Creation

The verse explicitly states the reason for resting on the seventh day is for the benefit and refreshment of people and animals, not because God rested on the seventh day during creation.

Seventh-Day Sabbath

While the verse mandates rest on the seventh day, it does not explicitly use the term "Sabbath" in this particular phrasing.
