It just occurred to me recently. We are told that holy spirit moves to and fro, that there is a source of dynamic energy that never stops etc, so why after 6 creative days, would there be a need to rest?
Why Would the Creater have to rest?

He didn't rest like we do cuz he's a spirit and they don't sleep and that's why them ghost bastards are always doin shit in the middle of the night and scarin folks!
He only rested in that he sat back (considered his creation),... not that he needed a break. By saying "rest" it gives man an idea of gods doings in a way we can relate.

The first creation story was written by P (5th century author involved with the developing Yahwehist Priesthood). His motivation was to lay literary foundation and rationale for the newly instituteded Sabbath sacrement. He refers to the 'rest' on the 7th day as an etiological rooting for the weekly holyday of rest. The reference to the use of 'wind' aka 'spirit' was typical of creation stories of the region. God used wind to order the shifting chaos into the earth.
