And on the seventh day you shall have a holy convocation: As on the first day of the Festival of Unleavened Bread, the Israelites had to have a holy convocation (see verse 18) on its last day. Revised Standard Version follows the Hebrew text by placing the temporal phrase on the seventh day at the beginning of this clause, which seems to emphasize the sequence of seven days of ritual activities. However, Good News Translation places this phrase at the end of this clause, which emphasizes what is to be done now on the seventh day. The normal order of procedural discourse in the receptor language should be used here.

You shall do no laborious work: See verse 18.
