>he rested
Why would God rest? Was he exhausted? Is he not omnipotent and all-powerful?

resting in this context implies that he ended his works.

How tf can anyone understand God and his actions if he's a supernatural being?

Also isn't it a justification for having a day off work or something?

No, that’s not the answer. God does not exhaust, he is inexhaustible. He must have rested for another reason
>Why would God rest?
Well read on friend! The very next verses explain why
>And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.
>And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.
Gods behavior is to be an example for us. God rests on the seventh do so that we might rest on the seventh day. From this verse, we get the weekend

OP back. I don't really understand Genesis chapter 4. It doesn't explain why Lamech killed whoever he did. And why is Lamech avenged only seventy seven fold while Cain is only avenged seven fold?
