ABSTRACT
In Exodus 20:11, the interruption of work* is related to God*’s resting on the seventh day of creation* (Gn 2:2-3). The Creator stopped working and assumed a limitation, showing that his power is gentle by mastering his own mastery. And by withdrawing, he liberated a space for that which is other-the universe and especially mankind. In this sense, the sabbath is the day when man shows that he renounces his illusions of superpower and makes room for alterity and the possibility of justice in relations.
