Exegesis
The nominal sequence shabbaton shabbat-kodesh laYHWH machar {שַׁבָּתוֹן שַׁבַּת־קֹדֶשׁ לַיהוָה מָחָר | šab-bā-tôn šab-bat-qō-deš lə-Yə-hō-wāh mā-ḥār} functions as a verbless temporal clause rendered “Tomorrow is a sabbath observance, a holy sabbath to the LORD.” Two parallel patterns—direct-object marker + relative clause + imperative—(et asher-tō-ʾp̄û … ê-p̄û) and (ve-ʾēt asher-tə-ḇaš-šə-lû … baš-šê-lû)—express “Bake what you will bake, and boil what you will boil.”
In context — Exodus 16:23
And he said to them, “This is what the LORD has declared: ‘Tomorrow is a sabbath observance, a holy sabbath to the LORD. Bake what you will bake, and boil what you will boil; and all the surplus, set it aside for your safekeeping until morning.’”
