Listen "Rest | Genesis 2:1-3"
Episode Synopsis
In the season finale, Mara explores the seventh day of creation—the day of rest. She unpacks how ancient audiences would have understood this as the cosmos becoming a sacred dwelling place, and traces the theme of Sabbath through history to its evolving meaning."Day 7 is the only day that does not end with the line, 'then there was evening, then there was morning.' Because that day, the seventh day, would have been the fulfillment of the whole journey. The intention is that the seventh day is the day without end."KEY THEMES:• The significance of the number seven throughout Genesis• The ancient understanding of the cosmos as a sacred dwelling• The Hebrew concept of rest (nuakh) as dwelling rather than ceasing• How the meaning of Sabbath has evolved through history
