"The creation was now complete. “The heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.” “And God saw everything that He had made, and, behold, it was very good.” Eden bloomed on earth. Adam and Eve had free access to the tree of life. No taint of sin or shadow of death marred the fair creation. “The morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy.” Job 38:7 . PP 47.1"
"When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?"
Ellen White directly references Job 38:7 in this passage.
"After resting upon the seventh day, God sanctified it, or set it apart, as a day of rest for man. Following the example of the Creator, man was to rest upon this sacred day, that as he should look upon the heavens and the earth, he might reflect upon God's great work of creation; and that as he should behold the evidences of God's wisdom and goodness, his heart might be filled with love and reverence for his Maker. PP 47.3"
"And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made."
The EGW passage is a clear and direct allusion to Genesis 2:3, elaborating on the significance of the seventh-day Sabbath and its purpose for humanity. It directly references God's sanctification of the day and connects it to man's reflection on creation.
