The term Hexameron (Greek: Ἡ Ἑξαήμερος Δημιουργία Hē Hexaēmeros Dēmiourgia) refers either to the genre of theological treatise that describes God's work on the six days of creation or to the six days of creation themselves. Most often these theological works take the form of commentaries on Genesis 1. As a genre, hexameral literature was popular in the early church and medieval periods. The word derives its name from the Greek roots hexa-, meaning "six", and (h)emer(a), meaning "day"."In this oracle [Isa. 60:19-20] the alternation of night and day, which serves as a refrain throughout Genesis 1, is to be brought to an end, as YHWH will ceaselessly enlighten the world. The light of the first three days of the hexaemeron, which derived from God without celestial mediation, will return."
otiosity"If, as we have seen, the motif of divine otiosity after the labors of creation is older and more widespread than the particularly Israelite idea of the Sabbath, then Nils-Erik A. Andreasen is probably correct that Geneiss 2:1-3 is inteded to give a certain interpretation to that motif."
