The adversative u-vayom ha-shvi’i {וּבַיּוֹם הַשְּׁבִיעִי | ū·vā·yōm haššəvîʿî} ‘but on the seventh day’ marks a structural shift.
In context — Leviticus 23:3
Six days work may be done, but on the seventh day is a Sabbath of complete rest, a holy convocation. You shall not do any work; it is a Sabbath to the LORD in all your dwellings.
