Heb 4:4. Εἴρηκε, He said) viz. GOD, who also speaks in Heb 4:5; Heb 4:7.-ἑβδόμης) viz. ἡμέρας.-καὶ κατέπαυσεν ὁ Θεὸς ἐν τῇ, κ.τ.λ.) Gen 2:2, LXX., καὶ κατέπαυσε τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ ἑβδόμῃ ἀπὸ πάντων τῶν ἔργων αὐτοῦ, ὧν ἔποιησε, He rested, He withdrew Himself, so to speak, to His eternal tranquillity. It is remarkable that Moses has mentioned the end of the former days, but not of the seventh: Heb. from His work. It was one work, comprehending many works. The single term κατέπαυσεν corresponds to the Heb. מנוחה and שבת, by most suitably connecting the two passages Psalms 95 and Genesis 2.
