Many have said there is no commandment to keep the Sabbath prior to the giving of the commandment on Mr. Sinai.However you will see that it was not needed to be commanded. Romans 1:19, and 20 tell us the invisible things were clearly seen from the creation of the world so we are without excuse. But that is not all. There is more. Genesis 1:26 tells us how. Most translations say that we are made in God’s image and likeness. @BobRyan @Gary K @sandman @Dosblade the following highlighted in red is not true in respect to the passage. But the post stands without it. (But the text actually says more in the Hebrew The words likeness and image are actually compound words, בְּ·צַלְמֵ֖·נ"in our image move" and בְּ דְמוּתֵ֑·נוּ "in our likeness move" is what God says there. The prefix כִּ meaning in and the suffix נוּ meaning move in both words). With צַלְמֵ֖ being image. And דְמוּתֵ֑ translating to likeness. In other words when Adam and Eve were made they were made in God’s image and likeness to move. So when God rested they rested on the Seventh Day because they were one with God moving in His image and likeness. Adam and Eve fell away from this when they sinned. But Jesus reestablished to its utmost. For God was in Christ reconciling the world unto Himself. With man this was impossible but with God all things are possible. Him in us, us in Him that the world might believe. For it is He that works in us both to will and do His good pleasure. And as Acts 17 states In Him we live. move and have our being, Incidentally that is said of unbelievers as well even as some of their own poets had said and Paul testified. John 17, Philippians 2:13. Below are verse references and excerpts from Hebrew Lexicons so you can see the proof for yourself. God bless!
Acts 17:27 That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us:
Acts 17:28 For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring.
Romans 1:19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.
Romans 1:20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
Gen 1:26 וַ·יֹּ֣אמֶר said אֱלֹהִ֔ים And God נַֽעֲשֶׂ֥ה Let us make אָדָ֛ם man בְּ·צַלְמֵ֖·נוּ in our image move כִּ·דְמוּתֵ֑·נוּ after our likeness move וְ·יִרְדּוּ֩ and let them have dominion בִ·דְגַ֨ת over the fish הַ·יָּ֜ם of the sea וּ·בְ·ע֣וֹף and over the fowl הַ·שָּׁמַ֗יִם of the air וּ·בַ·בְּהֵמָה֙ and over the cattle וּ·בְ·כָל־ all הָ·אָ֔רֶץ and over all the earth וּ·בְ·כָל־ every הָ·רֶ֖מֶשׂ and over every creeping thing הָֽ·רֹמֵ֥שׂ that creepeth עַל־ on הָ·אָֽרֶץ׃ upon the earth

By a peculiar idiom of language, it is used of the fountain, origin, and material whence any thing is drawn, is made, or comes forth; as-(a) in the phrase, “to drink in a cup,” i.e. to drink what is in the cup; for “out of the cup” (like the French “boire dans une tasse;” Gr. ἐν χρυσῷ, ἐν ποτηρίοιζ πίνειν, Xenoph.
