Exegesis
The conjunction kî {כִּי | kî} introduces the causal clause, with the prepositional phrase bô šā-ḇaṯ {בּוֹ שָׁבַת | bô šā-ḇaṯ} specifying the resting that grounds the day’s holiness.
In context — Genesis 2:3
And God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it , because on it He rested from all His work—what God had created to do.
