Exegesis
The phrase bas-śā-deh {בַּשָּׂדֶֽה | bas-śā-deh} ‘in the field’ contrasts the usual gathering place with Sabbath rest. The repetition of hayyom and the connective underscores the day’s sanctity and the interplay of divine command and communal obedience.
In context — Exodus 16:25
Moses said, “Eat it today, for today is the Sabbath to the LORD ; you will not find it in the field.”
