Gen. 2:2      Gen. 2:4

Genesis 2:3

And God (Elohim) blessed the seventh day. Yes, he sanctified (set apart) it, for on it he had ceased (Hebr. shavat) from all the work that God (Elohim) had created (Hebr. bara) to complete (to make – Hebr. asah).
[The Sabbath
The first day of the Jewish calendar is Sunday. It is called jom rishon (day one). The week then continues with jom sheni (day two), jom shlishi (day three), jom revii (day four), jom chamishi (day five), and jom shishi (day six). The seventh day (Saturday) breaks the pattern and is not called jom shevii (day seven); instead, only the word shabbat is used. It is a day when man's work “shall cease.” The Sabbath is not instituted here, but when it is mentioned among the commandments, reference is made to the six days of creation and that work then ceased on the seventh day, see Ex. 20:9–11. The Sabbath, and what counts as work or not, was something that was often discussed in Jesus' time, see Mark 2:27; Matt. 12:10–12, and even today among rabbis.]
