Contrasting 1st and 7th Day in Scripture

Eccl. 12:13,14:  
Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments; for this is the whole duty of man. 
 
 "God claimed the seventh day as his own, in many scriptures, and at many different times. 
---He never so claimed the first day, but gave it to man for labor.  
---He blessed and sanctified the seventh day. He neither blessed nor sanctified the first day.  
---He commanded that the seventh day be kept holy. He never commanded to keep the first day
There is but one commandment in the Bible for a weekly Sabbath, and that says the seventh day."
