i do not see a sabbath establishment here for mankind, God finished His work on that day and He rested. Nowhere is there a command or an observance of sabbath rest from Adam to Moses, until the law was given. If the sabbath day was so important why did God not command Adam or anyone to keep it?

Oh yes, Casto! God did some work on that day. He created "rest " or "sabbath " on the 7th day.

God ended His work! Does this mean He still did some work? Please explain!

i believe the word "rest" used here is of more significance since GOD rested from creation work and embarked on a Sabbath observance.Here he ministered to his creation hence sanctifying this very special day to be an inheritance to the human race.

I would like for people to use the term "ceaseth" from HIS work. Otherwise, people would look as GOD as in somewhat as with human trates. GOD DO NOT GET TIRED - SO WHY WOULD HE REQUIRE "rest"
