4 For he spake in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise, And God did rest the seventh day from all his works.



Ver. 4. And God did rest] Here the apostle showeth what that rest of believers is. Not that seventh day’s rest, Heb_4:5, nor that other rest, Psa_95:11, meant of the land of Canaan, but another and better, typified in both those, viz. a spiritual resting from our own works of sins, so as God resteth in his love to us, Zep_3:17, and we sweetly acquiesce in our interest in him, Psa_116:7.
