ceased

"...and there was evening and morning, the sixth day.  Completed were the heavens and the earth and all their host.  And G-d finished, on the seventh day, His work which He had done; and He ceased on the seventh day from all His work which He had done.  And G-d blessed the seventh day and sanctified it because on it He ceased from all His work of creating...which G-d had done."
