Footnotes
- 1 See the note on the phrase “the heavens and the earth” in .
- 2 Heb “and all the host of them.” Here the “host” refers to all the entities and creatures that God created to populate the world.
- 3 Heb “on/in the seventh day.”
- 4 Heb “his work which he did [or “made”].”
- 5 The Hebrew term שָׁבַּת (shabbat) can be translated “to rest” (“and he rested”) but it basically means “to cease.” This is not a rest from exhaustion; it is the cessation of the work of creation.
