Personally, I think, because Moses wrote Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, numbers, and Deuteronomy, that he inserted the point here that it was made sacred. But you don't read of God commanding any man to keep that day, anyway. You just read that God rested. But then in Moses day man is invited to rest that day for the first time. Never before that do you ever read of man being commanded to take that day and rest. Since Moses wrote Genesis, and commented that God had made it a holy day, that was to prepare people for the law that he was bringing to them in his day. But the fact remains, that God never commanded a man to keep that day when he rested himself on it. Man was invited for the first time to do so in the law of Moses.

I cannot find where anyone was told by God to not engage in bestiality or to honour their parents or to not bear false witness or to not take the Lord's name in vain or to not remove their neighbor's landmark or to not covet anything prior to the law of Moses. So I guess the fact remains that man was never invited to do those things until Moses? And what conclusion are we supposed to draw from this? "Therefore those are not moral laws, just like the Sabbath commandment"?
