"Keep the Sabbath" is the longest of the ten commandments. "Do not murder" is the shortest. That's not an accident. One is universal, instinctively understood, and doesn't require a lot of explanation for grownups. The other can only be learned and understood by divine revelation. God didn't think the Hebrews needed much explanation of murder, adultery, and theft. Unfortunately, sometimes I think we do.
