Genesis 2:1-13

2:2

seventh ................. seventh <07637> [And on.]

seventh day God ............. on ... seventh day <03117 0430 07637> [seventh day God.]

The LXX., Syriac, and the Samaritan Text read the sixth day, which is probably the true reading; as [vav <\\See definition 02053\\>,] which stands for six, might easily be changed into [zayin,] which denotes seven.

ceased <07673> [rested.]

Or, rather, ceased, as the Hebrew word is not opposed to weariness, but to action; as the Divine Being can neither know fatigue, nor stand in need of rest.
