I start reading the Bible and in the bible and when I arrive to “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.” I’m confused!! Can God be tired?
Good question. First, pleased to know you have taken a step further to read the Bible. It will certainly be a rewarding experience so keep matching on!
Yes, God cannot get tired. You are correct. I will show you here an important Bible study principle to understand early in your journey into the Bible. Words used in the Bible do not have just one meaning. Rest, for example is a word we know that means physical rest from being tired. Whenever you see the word rest, it is important to know exactly what is meant there. So the meaning of words depends on the context in which it is used.
So rest in this verse doesn’t mean God got physically tired. It simple means he ceased or stopped working after accomplishing what He wanted to do.
A similar important Bible study principle is to look for other verses that might help you understand the current verse because it can be difficult sometimes. A similar verse is
“For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his.”
Hebrews 4:10 KJV
You can read the entire Hebrews chapter 4 to have a better idea also.
The Lord grant you understanding as you devote time to read the Word.
Feel free to get in touch with us if you have any difficulties along the other or other questions.
Blessings
Patrick
