Hebrews 4:4 Douay-Rheims

For in a certain place he spoke of the seventh day thus: And God rested the seventh day from all his works.

Jamieson, Fausset & Brown

1871 Reformed

he spake--God (Gen 2:2). God did rest the seventh day--a rest not ending with the seventh day, but beginning then and still continuing, into which believers shall hereafter enter. God's rest is not a rest necessitated by fatigue, nor consisting in idleness, but is that upholding and governing of which creation was the beginning [ALFORD]. Hence Moses records the end of each of the first six days, but not of the seventh. from all his works--Hebrew, Gen 2:2, "from all His work." God's "work" was one, comprehending, however, many "works."
