Exegesis
The second clause issues direct commands: the imperative shevu {שְׁבוּ | šə-bû} ‘remain’ with ish takhtav {אִישׁ תַּחְתָּיו | ʾîš taḥ-tāw} ‘each person in his place’, and the prohibition al yetse ish {אַל יֵצֵא אִישׁ | ʾal yē-ṣēʾ ʾîš} ‘do not let any person go out’ reinforced by mim-mekomo {מִמְּקֹמ֖וֹ | mim-mə-qō-mô} ‘from his place’ and the temporal frame ba-yom ha-shvi'i {בַּיּוֹם הַשְּׁבִיעִי | ba-yôm ha-šə-bî-ʿî} ‘on the seventh day’. The structure moves from recognition to causation, provision, and obedience, reflecting the theological rationale for Sabbath observance.
