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.
In many religious beliefs, God is said to have rested on the seventh day after creating the world in six days. There is no mention of God creating anything on an eighth day in traditional religious texts.
Those who use a literal interpretation of the Bible and apply it where relevant, such as in Genesis and numerous other places where the creation is mentioned, do not find any metaphor in the creation story. It was written as an account or a witness of what happened in the beginning, although it obviously doesn't contain all the details. So from this perspective the answer would be none.

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."
This is because, in the christian religion, it is said that God created the Earth in six days and rested on the seventh. Just as he worked for six days and rested on the seventh day (sabbath), man should rest on the seventh day and give worship to the creator. The day of worship was changed by the Roman Catholics from Saturday to Sunday for some unknown reason. Due to this change, the Catholic Denomination of Christianity was created. Hope this answer helped.

The seventh day is said to be Sabbath because a man said it. The seventh day is on Sunday. Another Answer: Look at any calendar and see that the last day is Saturday while the first is Sunday - in most countries. It was God who 'rested' on the Sabbath and made is sacred - a sign between His followers and Him. Mankind is to rest and consider the creation and the Creator. God is to be the center of our thoughts that day. Indeed, the 'week' was given to man by God and no man calculated it or invented it though some have tried to reset the number of days to as few as four and as many as a dozen or so. God never said the Sabbath was made for God.

God saw the creation and said that it was good.

Definitely!! It's the account of the creation of the world. If we didn't believe in that then how could we believe the rest of the bible and what Jesus said and did?

Yes... to those who will listen:It says:"REMEMBER the Sabbath day, to keep it Holy. Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord thy God... for in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day, and hallowed it [sanctified it; set it aside for Holy use]." (Ex.20:8-11)The "creation" account says to those who are able to hear it, that "man isn't an accident"... as this "forgetful" world teaches. God's creation has "purpose." Every human life is valuable... with the potential to be born into God's Family."...God said, Let US make man in OUR image, after OUR likeness... So God created man in His own image, in the image of God created He him; male and female created He them." (Gen.1:26-27)It says to those able to hear... it's not the "survival of the fittest," with man merely an entre' on an alleged "food chain" menu.It says to them: "Love the Lord your Creator with all your heart." And, "love your neighbor as yourself" -- for you and your neighbors are all specially made in your Creator's image.The Bible creation account actually says this to ALL OF MANKIND... but the majority of the world has failed to "remember" creation. It has chosen to "forget" the day that God set aside: the Sabbath day, that He "sanctified;" set aside, for that very purpose on the seventh day.
