    The creation of earth and all that is therein was finished by the end of the sixth day. God rested from his work as an example for mankind to follow. Exodus 20:8-11 says "Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord your God.

    pchsv added a text contribution Work before the Fall
    Before sin entered the world, man had to work. God put Adam to work in the garden to tend to it. This seems similar to the New Testament command that if a man doesn't work, he doesn't eat.

    pchsv added a text contribution Day 1 Genesis 1:1-5
    On the first day of creation, God created the earth and the heavens. At first, there was no light and no ground on the surface. God created light (not the sun) and named it Day, and the darkness he called Night. v5 describes "evening and the morning were the first day" - the Jews took this to mean that the day begins at night, so they would say Evening (sun down), Morning, Afternoon describes a day in contrast to how we view a day as morning (midnight), afternoon, evening.
