Six Days of Work and Rest for Ox, Servant, and Stranger

"Six days you shall do your work": by inference from another verse that says, "six days you shall labor and do all your work, and the seventh day you shall rest" (Exodus 20:9). You rest only at the time when you do all your work; from where do I learn rest even at a time when you are not doing any work? Scripture says, "and on the seventh day you shall rest" in any case. It compares the Sabbath to the sabbatical year: just as the sabbatical year, which carries no penalty of death, requires that one rest in advance, from the eve of the seventh year before the seventh year by thirty days, is it not logical that the Sabbath, which does carry a penalty of death, requires one to add from the profane onto the holy? "That your ox and your donkey may rest": this teaches that you are commanded concerning the rest of your animal, but you are not commanded concerning the rest of your vessels. "And the son of your maidservant may be refreshed": Rabbi Yose the Galilean says, leave him be; and Rabbi Akiva says, give him relief. "And the stranger": this is the resident alien, who is the hired worker and the gleaner-laborer of an Israelite, that one should not let him do work for him on the Sabbath; but for himself the resident alien may work.
