Genesis 8:1 (NASB)
The first line in Genesis 8 starts by telling us that God remembered Noah. Noah's name means rest.
Over and over in Genesis and Exodus, God remembers his covenant. God remembers his promise.
Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy
Exodus 20:8 (NASB)
And the first time God tells US to remember is when He introduces Sabbath. He's reminding us to rest.
