And there's nine now?
There's nine in the list of Deuteronomy 5 instead of seven in Exodus.
So basically we've added donkey or any animal.
So Exodus 20 only had your cattle, like your ox, oxen, which apparently is meant to stand for all your animals.
But Deuteronomy 5 comes and fills that out.
Your ox, your donkey, any of your animals.
Deuteronomy 5 continues on and gives a reason.
So that your male slave and your female slave may rest just as you rest.
So that reason, Deuteronomy, stands in the place of the reference to the seven-day creation narrative in Exodus 20.
Six days you labor, seventh day you Shabbat.
Because in six days God made everything, and then on the seventh day he rested.
That's the rationale.
