"On the seventh day He ... from all the work of creation" (Bible) (6)

I believe the answer is:

rested

(Other definitions for rested that I've seen before include "Took break in desert" , "Took a break from activities" , "Reposed or took a breather" , "Took one's ease" , "Relaxed, took a break" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
