Exodus 20:8-10

Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the LORD your God, on which you must not do any work— neither you, nor your son or daughter, nor your manservant or maidservant or livestock, nor the foreigner within your gates.

    resonates with Exodus 20:9-10

    The longing for rest after labor mirrors the rhythm of work and rest God built into creation, though here it's framed purely as escape rather than sabbath.
