Kejadian 2:2

2:2 By ¹  the seventh day God finished the work that he had been doing, ²  and he ceased ³  on the seventh day all the work that he had been doing.

Ayub 31:33

31:33 if ⁴  I have covered my transgressions as men do, ⁵ 

by hiding ⁶  iniquity in my heart, ⁷ 

[2:2]  ¹ tn Heb “on/in the seventh day.”

[2:2]  ² tn Heb “his work which he did [or “made”].”

[2:2]  ³ tn The Hebrew term שָׁבַּת (shabbat) can be translated “to rest” (“and he rested”) but it basically means “to cease.” This is not a rest from exhaustion; it is the cessation of the work of creation.

[31:33]  ⁴ tn Now the protasis continues again.

[31:33]  ⁵ sn Some commentators suggest taking the meaning here to be “as Adam,” referring to the Paradise story of the sin and denial.

[31:33]  ⁶ tn The infinitive is epexegetical, explaining the first line.

[31:33]  ⁷ tn The MT has “in my bosom.” This is the only place in the OT where this word is found. But its meaning is well attested from Aramaic.
