Exegesis
The verse begins with sheshet {שֵׁשֶׁת | šê-šeṯ} ‘six’ and yamim {יָמִים | yā-mîm} ‘days’, establishing a temporal frame in which toʾkhal {תֹּאכַל | tō-ʾa-ḵal} ‘you shall eat’ governs matzot {מַצּוֹת | ma-ẓōṯ} ‘unleavened breads’.
In context — Deuteronomy 16:8
For six days you shall eat unleavened breads, and on the seventh day there shall be an assembly to the LORD your God ; you shall not do any work .
