Exegesis
The prepositional phrase bayyom haššəviʿi {בַּיּ֥וֹם הַשְּׁבִעִֽי | bə-yôm haš-še-bî-ʿî} ‘on the seventh day’ functions adverbially, specifying the precise timing in accordance with divine ordinance. Positioning this phrase at the clause end gives it climactic emphasis on obedient rest within the sacred weekly rhythm.
In context — Exodus 16:30
So the people ceased from all work and rested on the seventh day .
