Because Yahweh worked for six days and then Noach on the seventh.
And this is referring to Genesis 1.
Yes, and which the last line of the command, therefore Yahweh blessed the day of Shabbat
And he made it holy, which links you back all the way up to the first line, which is remember the day of Shabbat to treat it as holy.
Okay, so let's think about this.
So the seven-day creation narrative is clearly being hyperlinked here.
It opens with God speaking, but then there's two verbs that God...
is the subject of in the seven-day narrative.
It's either bara, which is to create, which only God is ever the actor of the verb bara in the Hebrew Bible.
But bara essentially means God produces something that has no precedent.
It's only used of God's actions.
But then God also asah's.
which means to make or to do.
So he makes the big light and the small light and the stars, makes them.
