God's Rhythm of Work and Rest
Commentators explain that the reason for the Sabbath is rooted in God's own creative work. Just as God worked for six days and rested on the seventh, He established this pattern for humanity. This rhythm isn't just about stopping labor; it's a divine model for a life where work leads to a fulfilling rest and time to enjoy its fruits in God's presence.
