And on: Genesis 1:31; Exodus 20:11, Exodus 23:12, Exodus 31:17; Deuteronomy 5:14; Isaiah 58:13; John 5:17; Hebrews 4:4

seventh day God: The LXX, Syriac, and the Samaritan Text read the sixth day, which is probably the true reading; as ε: strong:H2053, which stands for six, might easily be changed into ζ:, which denotes seven.

rested: Or, rather, ceased, as the Hebrew word is not opposed to weariness, but to action; as the Divine Being can neither know fatigue, nor stand in need of rest.
