What does Deuteronomy 5:14 mean?

But the seventh day is a day of rest for the Lord your God. Don’t do any work—not you, your kids, your workers, your animals, or any foreigners living with you—so everyone can rest, just like you. Deuteronomy 5:14 - Modern Text Bible

(Rest isn’t just for the privileged; everyone, even animals and outsiders, gets a break. God wants rest and dignity for all.)
