Exegesis
The coordinate prepositional phrase uvayom {וּבַיּוֹם | û-ḇa-yôm} ‘and in the day’ introduces a temporal contrast, with the ordinal hashhevi'i {הַשְּׁבִיעִי | haš-šə-ḇî-ʿî} ‘the seventh’ and appositional shabbat {שַׁבָּת | šab-bāṯ} ‘Sabbath’ specifying its covenantal identity.
Root and etymology
“to cease, rest”
In context — Exodus 16:26
For six days you shall gather it, but on the seventh day, the Sabbath , there will be none.
