Exegesis
The subordinate relative clause mikkol mə-laḵ-tô ʾă-šer bā-rāʾ ʾĕ-lō-hîm la-ʿă-śôṯ {מִכָּל־מְלַאכְתּוֹ אֲשֶׁר־בָּרָא אֱלֹהִים לַעֲשׂוֹת} further qualifies “work” as the totality of creative deeds. In English, subject–verb–object order is adopted for clarity, while the em dash and relative clause preserve the causal and explanatory relationships of the Hebrew.
