rest
According to the Bible, on the seventh day, God rested from all his work of creation.
And on the seventh day God finished his work which he had done, and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had done. 3 So God blessed the seventh day and hallowed it, because on it God rested from all his work which he had done in creation.
On the sixth day of creation, God created land animals and finally created human beings in his own image. On the seventh day, God rested from his work of creation, blessing and sanctifying the day as a day of rest, known as the Sabbath.
God rested on the seventh day to set an example for humans to take time to rest and reflect on their work and to acknowledge the completion of creation.
Shabbat in Hebrew meaning "to cease" refers to the seventh day of Creation. According to the Old Testament, God completed the Creation in six day and rested in the seventh day. We take this day to pray in respect to God's work. It is commonly spelled as "Sabbath."
well in all actuallity there were tchnically on 6 days of creation and a day of resting. so there was no eighth day of creation. When does day end, when does it begin, where does the night end, day begin.
A careful reading of Genesis ch.1 and 2 will show that God blessed the seventh day and began creation six days before it. Tradition states that the seventh day was Shabbat (Friday eve until Saturday eve). Therefore, the Creation began on the evening entering into Sunday, one week before the seventh day of Creation.
In the Christian perception of God, he should never need to rest, thus making the seventh day an anachronism. However, the Jews wanted to know why they were required to hold the seventh day to be a day of rest. One version of the Ten Commandments says that God commanded the Israelites to respect the sabbath day because that was the day on which God rested.
The first story told in the Bible is the story of the creation of the world. In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. God created evrything in six days, and on the seventh day, he rested.
That would depend on which god you refer to.
