Exodus 23:12
Excerpted from: The Fourth Commandment (Part 2)Again, remember Deuteronomy 5—that the Sabbath was made to show compassion towards the weak and the defenseless. What does it say there? It says that you are to give others, who are under your authority, that day to rest. You relieve them of the burden of work. That is—your manservant, your maidservant, and even your animals. They too are to be given the opportunity to have a burden relieved from them. They are physical. If they are worked constantly, they are going to wear out quicker. And so it is wise, isn't it? It is to our benefit even to give them the relief that they need.
