Hi,
"How, above all, does man show his domination over the earth? In
that he can fashion all things in his environment to his own purpose... He can
transform everything into an instrument of human service. He is allowed to rule
over the world for six days with Gd's will. On the seventh day, however, he is
forbidden by Divine behest to fashion anything for his own purpose. In this way
he acknowledges that he has no rights of ownership or authority over the
world... On each Sabbath day, the world, so to speak, is restored to Gd."
(Rabbi Samson Raphael Hirsch, Horeb 141)
Have a great day,
Mordechai
