Six days do your work, but on the seventh day do not work

Exodus 23:1-19
Laws of Justice and mercy. Justice and human rights.
Do not deny justice to your poor people in their lawsuits.
Have nothing to do with a false charge and do not put an innocent or honest person to death.
Six days do your work, but on the seventh day do not work, so that your ox and your donkey ma rest and the slave born in your household, and the alien as well, may be refreshed.
Law of three main feasts - Unleavened Bread, Firstfruits and Harvest.
Three times a year you are to celebrate a festival to me.
1)The Feast of Unleavened Bread.
2)The Feast of Harvest with the firstfruits of the crops you sow in your field.
3)The Fest of Ingathering at the end of the year, when you gather in your crops from the field.
Three times a year all the men are to appear before the Sovereign Lord.
Why?
The land is entitled to a rest of its own: God preserves and provides for the creatures of the wild as well as humankind.
Christians have to appear before the Lord every morning.  Make more close relationship with the Lord.
Do not deny justice or do nothing to the false charge, for we are the servant of the Lord, God care the poor and needed people. Have mercy on those men.
We need rest so as the slave and field and ox etc.
How?
Obey the law and do the right thing we should do.
