## In Jewish tradition

Interpretation: Tradition reads "the heaven and the earth were finished" on the sixth day, and Shabbat is the day of rest after that completion. The Torah itself is "finished" when Moses writes it down. In the primary lessons: maths: a part already completed; the rest is total minus finished (left = total − finished); time taken to finish; everyday life: finished homework, finished painting; stories: when the work was finished, they rested
