Days four through six.

Day four, he populates the light and the dark realms with the lights.

Then he populates the waters above with the birds and the waters below with the fish.

And then day six, he populates the land and calls up animals out of the ground and then creates and appoints humans to rule over the ground.

Yeah.

So that's the work.

And he stops and he rests.

What does he say?

So it reads like this.

This is Genesis 2 verses 1 and 3.

And so they were completed, the skies and the land and all their inhabitants.

Elohim completed on the seventh day the work that he had made, and he rested on the seventh day from the work that he had made, and Elohim blessed the seventh day and set it apart as holy.

Because on it he rested from all his work which Elohim created to make.

I tried to kind of make the middle lines rhyme.

Each one of them is seven words in Hebrew.

The three lines that have the word seven in them, the phrase seventh day, are themselves made with seven words.

Yeah, super cool.

So he completed, he rested, and he blessed the day.

So, the idea is that when God generates something out of God's own self that is not God, but that's sustained and ordered by God,

There's some energy involved there, movement out of God's own self.
