Exegesis
The vav-conjunction in uve-yom {וּבַיּוֹם | ū-və-yôm} “and on the day” plus the ordinal hashvii {הַשְּׁבִיעִי | haššəvîʿî} “the seventh” introduces the temporal shift marked by tishbot {תִּשְׁבֹּת | tišbōṯ} “you shall rest.”
In context — Exodus 23:12
Six days you shall do your work , but on the seventh day you shall rest, so that your ox and your donkey may rest, and the son of your female-servant and the sojourner may be refreshed.
