Why did God rest on the seventh day?
Oops, I put this question in the wrong category, didn't I? It should be in the "Mythology and Folklore" category.

actually this would be the kind of question we'd be asked in my myths in human culture class I took a couple of semesters ago.

One thing you got right was that Yahweh rested on the seventy day Saturday and not the first day, Sunday.
And he command us to do like wise, however.......
Hbr 4:9 There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of Yahweh.
Hbr 4:11 ¶ Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief.
and the Christians say just believe, there examples prove their disbelief.

Did God say He rested on the 7th day? If He said it when did He say it and where. The bible was authored by humans subject to their own whims and interpretation.

I take from what you have said that you never rest, never take a day off from work, work all the time? Then what are you doing here? Get back to work!

Rest doesn't always mean sleep. It also means going to do something else. This is what god did. What that was is apparently none of our business.

He consecrated it as the Sabbath day and to keep it Holy, for all that He had made!!

Because he was satisfied with his piece of art. It was finished.

Are you actually asking a question or did you just want your 15 seconds of ignorance?
