So the heavens and the earth were finished with all their forces.
Genesis 2:1 (John Goldingay, The First Testament)
What I love about this translation (John Goldingay, The First Testament, A New Translation, is it uses the word forces.
This opens up many lines of thought.
First Question: What forces is it talking about? I can think of many such as gravity, air currents, electricity, life (breathing and so on), photosynthesis… there are many.
Next the Scripture states that says God rested. but what is interesting is the forces He instituted did not stop. When He spoke them into existence they were always there. They never stop for the Sabbath. Mankind was told to take a Sabbath and in a different way the fields of the earth were told to be Sabbathed as well.
