Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.
And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.
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. Genesis 2:1-3
Thus what God did on each day is recorded in its order down to the seventh.
It is certainly doing violence to the narrative to affirm that the record respecting the seventh day is of a different character from that respecting the other six.
He rested the seventh day; he sanctified the seventh day because He had rested upon it.
The reason why He should sanctify the seventh day existed when His rest was closed.
--- To say, therefore, that God did not sanctify the day at that time, but did it in the days of Moses, is not only to distort the narrative, but to affirm that He neglected to do that for which the reason existed at creation, until twenty-five hundred years after."
