Friends, here is my translation of (the unnumbered) Day Seven of Creation (Gen 2:1–3) with links to all the relevant posts on the blog. Below you’ll also find links to all six of the “Days” in Genesis 1. All these posts have been unlocked so they’re free for everyone to read. Comments to this post are open to everyone, so you can let me know about any problems. Thanks!
Day One of Creation
Day Two of Creation
Day Three of Creation
Day Four of Creation
Day Five of Creation
Day Six of Creation
Gen 2:1 Then the Sky and the Earth were finished, and all their auxiliaries. 2 Then God finished on the seventh day the work He had done. He sabbathed — on the seventh day — from all the work He had done. 3 God blessed the seventh day; then He set it apart, in that on it He had sabbathed from all His work that God had created by making.
And, because the next verse is a hinge between two different versions of the story of creation, my “Two Versions of the Story” (originally posted just before the end of 2:3) belongs here too.
The next bonus post, about the hinge between Version 1 and Version 2 of the creation story, will be for paid subscribers only.
Thanks for reading The Bible Guy!
