 Wherefore, either by such an explanation, or by any other which may seem better, we escape from the objection advanced by those who would make the fact that God rested from His works a conclusive argument against our believing that new souls are still being daily created, not from the first soul, but in the same manner as it was made.Philo and some rabbis insisted that God’s providence remains active, keeping all things in existence, giving life in birth and taking it away in death.Other rabbis taught that God rested from creating, but not from judging, ruling, or governing.
