These were the names given to the days of the week from the begining of creation, And the seventh day is called Sabbath day meaning a day of rest. Anything aside these is from man.

Your question is an impossible one to answer with a specific day as the earliest time of history the day of Sabbath was a floating day as time was controlled by moon phases. When time became measured by the sun, ancient Judaism began to conform to the Sun calendar. As I understand it, Roman rule ( which was highly tolerate of the practices of Judaism) became frustrated with having to accommodate their practices of Sabbath and its ever changing day (in their military forces especially.) Therefore, sundown on Friday (roughly 7pm) became adopted as the beginning of Sabbath which continued until the same time on Saturday. So, if you are going to practice Sabbath as it was “in the beginning” you will have to do so with a lunar calendar and that time and day will subtly change over the course of the year.
Interestingly, I once read an article in a magazine (I picked up while waiting in a physical therapy office) and it stated that our bodies seem to have a certain rhythm to them. Studies showed that there is one 24 hour period when our rest assists our bodies more fully. That time was…drum roll please…from Friday evening through Saturday. So the article suggested that we nap on Saturdays instead of the often practiced Sunday nap!

Eva I too am confused. I wonder did God give us the names of the day of the week or did Man? And if Man gave them names When. If Man gave names to the before the great fall (BEFORE Sin was in in the world) then I could hold that as truth.

But if Man named them after the great fall them Man has fallen and could have gotten it wrong.

The Bible confuses me I am slow to understand due to being in the spectrum of autism.

I believe Sunday was the first day, therefore Saturday would be the Sabbath. But my question is does the Torah say that God named the days as such. That would validate the correct Sabbath the Holliest day.
I don’t know that in the Bible it states anything about God giving the days names. So it would seem that man Gave those names to the days in accordance to the English Bible. I just want worship God in the way he intended for his grace gave us Life and the glorious universe and all that is in it.
