This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Gen_2:3 And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.
Ver. 3. God blessed the seventh day,] i.e., made it an effectual means of blessing to him that sanctifieth it, as a rest from bodily labour and spiritual idleness, as Ignatius {a} exhorts.
And sanctified it,] i.e., consecrated and set it apart for holy use; as they sanctified, that is, appointed Kedesh for a city of refuge {Jos_20:7, margin.}
