for, in a passage referring to the seventh day, you will find these words-- 'God rested upon the seventh day after all his work.' On the other hand, we read in that passage-- ' They shall never enter upon my Rest.'

For he who enters upon God's Rest does himself rest after his work, just as God did. Let us, therefore, make every effort to enter upon that Rest, so that none of us fall through such disbelief as that of which we have had an example.
