Gen 2:2 And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.
Gen 2:3 And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.
Exd 20:11 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.
Exd 31:17 It [is] a sign between me and the children of Israel for ever: for [in] six days the LORD made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed.
Those who are saying "rested" does not imply God was tired, how can one be "refreshed" if one had not been tired?
@P.P.G., you say 'there is no mention of "refreshment"'. Did you not read the bible verses I posted? The very last word in the last verse is "refreshed".
@Fred, since when is asking a question "hateful"?
@ Jack, you tell me that we cannot understand God and then proceed to tell me you understand God. :)
Regarding it being "hateful" to direct a question about the old testament to Christians and not to Jews, I must say I find this truly surprising. Surely, Christians are not now claiming that the old testament is not part of their religion? Is it Jews and not Christians who are often wanting the Ten Commandments in government buildings and public schools? Do Christian bible literalists not believe in Adam and Eve and the story of Creation? It never occured to me to direct this question to Jews for I have never encountered a Jewish person who takes the stories of the old testament literally, but I have encountered numerous Christians who do. I appreciate the few Christians and others on here who have actually attempted to answer my question. Thanks!
