Sabbath at Creation

The verse explicitly states that the seventh day "is the sabbath of the Lord thy God" and details prohibitions for that day, but it does not mention or allude to God resting on the seventh day of creation.

Jesus and the Sabbath

The verse is from Exodus, part of the Old Testament law given to Moses, long before Jesus's birth. It describes the Sabbath commandment without any mention of Jesus, his actions, or his teachings.
