the authority that ... holds over us

Spanish translation: la autoridad que...ejerce sobre nosotros

Art/Literary - Religion / the Sabbath and the Creation/evolution debate
English term or phrase: the authority that ... holds over us
Since the reason given for the Sabbath in Exodus 20 is that God made the world in six days with one day of rest, there is no way round the clear implication that the six days of creation have to be six 24-hour periods for the argument to have meaning. But if it is right to use this verse to show that the creation ‘days’ were 24-hour periods, it behoves us also to acknowledge ***the authority that the Sabbath holds over us*** as a creation ordinance—not Jewish.
