God Rested [01-16]
When the seventh day came, God had finished his work. So God rested from all he had been doing. He blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on this day he rested from his work. This is how God created the universe and everything in it.
到了第七天，神造物的工程已完成，就停止了所作的一切。神赐福给第七天，定为圣日，因为在这一天，神停止了所行的一切创造工作，就安息了。这就是神创造宇宙和万物的来历。
