Devarim – Shamor et Yom HaShabbat
דברים ה׳:י״ב
Deuteronomy 5:12
The fourth commandment as given in Deuteronomy uses the word 'Shamor' (guard/observe) — 'Shamor et yom haShabbat lekadsho' — as opposed to 'Zachor' in Exodus, establishing the dual dimension of Shabbat observance.
שָׁמ֛֣וֹר אֶת־י֥וֹם֩ הַשַּׁבָּ֖֨ת לְקַדְּשׁ֑֜וֹ כַּאֲשֶׁ֥ר צִוְּךָ֖֣ ׀ יְהֹוָ֥֣ה אֱלֹהֶֽ֗יךָ׃
Observe the sabbath day and keep it holy, as the ETERNAL your God has commanded you.
