Exegesis
The parallelistic clauses ba-yom ha-rishon and u-va-yom ha-shmini {בַּיּוֹם הָרִאשׁוֹן וּבַּיּוֹם הַשְּׁמִינִי | bayyōm hāriššōn ūbayyōm haššmīnî} frame the opening and closing days as shabbaton ‘solemn rest,’ emphasizing the liturgical cessation at the festival’s boundaries.
In context — Leviticus 23:39
But on the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when you have gathered in the produce of the land, you shall celebrate the festival of the LORD for seven days; on the first day shall be a complete rest, and on the eighth day shall be a complete rest.
