When one sanctifies the Sabbath by refraining from the mundane, Hashem causes his weekdays to be as peaceful as the Sabbath itself. A wealthy businessman need not involve himself in the hands-on operation of his business; he can afford managers to operate his business. Thus, he savors his weekdays as much as the average person enjoys his Sabbath. The verse teaches us that if one is blessed, others can accomplish his work during the week. This is contingent upon scrupulous observance of the Sabbath.

Alternatively, on a mystical level, when a person contemplates his hands during his Shabbat kiddush, his Friday night kiddush may become more spiritual. The number thirty represent the hands because each hand is symbolized by the number fifteen. (Fourteen bones including the palm of each hand equals fifteen). Thirty mystically alludes to the celestial lights called kodesh and are somehow drawn out of a person's hands during his Friday night recitation of kiddush. The hands are symbolic of toil during the week as indicated by Proverbs, Chapter 31 "She is industrious by the toil of her hands." The Hebrew word for her hands, kapeha, when fully spelled out shares the same gematria as the word melachah which means creative work. Thus hands are inextricably linked to work. Our verse alludes to this truth by teaching us that on the seventh day shall be (yiyheh) holy for us. The gematria of yiyheh is thirty. Whereas during the week one uses his hands for physical labor, on Friday night, those same hands are spiritiually charged !!
