God's intent for giving the Sabbath to Israel was not that they would remember creation, but that they would remember their Egyptian slavery and the Lord's deliverance. Note the requirements for Sabbath-keeping: A person placed under that Sabbath law could not leave his home on the Sabbath (Exodus 16:29), he could not build a fire (Exodus 35:3), and he could not cause anyone else to work (Deuteronomy 5:14).
Lengo la Mungu kupeana sabato kwa Waisraeli haikuwa kukumbuka uumbaji, bali waukumbuke utumwa wa Wamisri na kule kuokolewa na Bwana. Kumbuka yanayohitajika kwa kuitunza sabato: mtu aliyewekwa chini ya hiyo sheria hangeweza kutoka kwa boma yake (Kutoka 16:29), hangewakisha moto (Kutoka 35:3), angeruhusu mtu yeyote kufanya kazi (Kumbukumbu La Torati 5:14).
