myself. But doesn't Genesis have God labouring for six days making
everything, then taking a day off to rest? To precis a bit, "On the First
Day he made this, on The Second he made that, on the Third, he made the
other", and so on.</span></p>

It's my understanding that according to the Bible we get Sunday off, because
God did; So surely our "day of rest" is logically the last day of the
week, not the first? (The first being used for creating universes, or serving
at supermarket counters, depending on your abilities and responsibility level).
Oh, and getting resurrected; that supposedly happened on Monday (three days
after dying) not a Sunday.</span></p>
<p style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;" class="MsoNormal"><br>
Oh, dear, oh, dear. (1) The days of the week in the Bible do not have
names, but are numbered, (2) Genesis 2:2 says "And on the seventh day God
ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his
work which he had made." (1611 AV) The Hebrew for seventh day
is Yom ha shviyi. The text makes a play on words on the the ordinal of
the word seventh, "sheba",
with the word "shabath" which means to rest. (3) This is
therefore the day of rest celebrated by the Jews, which is our Saturday.
If you're not sure about this, you might want to check with your local
synagogue. (4) If the Resurrection was on Monday, why is Easter always on
a Sunday. Can Christians really have been that mistaken for so long?
Oh, and BTW, God did not "make" anything on Day One. You
might want to check this out.<br>

And let me be the first to wish everyone a Shanah Tova!<br>
