וַיְהִי עֶֽרֶב וַיְהִי בֹֽקֶר יוֹם הַשִּׁשִּׁי וַיְכֻלּוּ הַשָּׁמַֽיִם וְהָאָֽרֶץ וְכׇל צְבָאָם וַיְכַל אֱלֹהִים בַּיּוֹם הַשְּׁבִיעִי מְלַאכְתּוֹ אֲשֶׁר עָשָׂה וַיִּשְׁבֹּת בַּיּוֹם הַשְּׁבִיעִי מִכׇּל מְלַאכְתּוֹ אֲשֶׁר עָשָׂה וַיְבָֽרֶךְ אֱלֹהִים אֶת יוֹם הַשְּׁבִיעִי וַיְקַדֵּשׁ אֹתוֹ, כִּי בוֹ שָׁבַת מִכׇּל מְלַאכְתּוֹ אֲשֶׁר בָּרָא אֱלֹהִים לַעֲשׂוֹת.

And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day. The heaven and the earth were finished, and all their array. On the seventh day G?d finished the work that G?d had been doing, and G?d ceased on the seventh day from all the work that God had done. And G?d blessed the seventh day and declared it holy, because on it G?d ceased from all the work of creation that G?d had done. (Source)
