“Genesis 1 likewise finds its conclusion in Yahweh’s taking up his rest. As developed earlier, “rest” does not imply relaxation, but more like achieving equilibrium and stability. He is making a place of rest for himself, a rest provided for by the completed cosmos. Inhabiting his resting place is the equivalent to being enthroned—it is connected to taking up his role as sovereign ruler of the cosmos.”
