God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on that day he had rested after all his work of creating. |
The Shining Ones were thankful for the 'seventh day' and made it a holiday - a truly complete day of rest, because they saw, with pleasure, that the work was done. |
Although it was not the seventh day, there was a period of rest after the work was completed. The Sumerian account records a holiday on which all took part in a picnic close to the cascading water.
