KIDDUSH BLESSING

Friday Evening Only: And there was evening and there was morning. The sixth day. Thus the heavens and earth were finished, and all their array. On the seventh day YHVH completed His work which He had done, and He rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had done. YHVH blessed the seventh day and set it apart because on it He rested from all His work which YHVH created to make.
