וַיְבָ֤רֶךְ אֱלֹהִים֙ אֶת י֣וֹם הַשְּׁבִיעִ֔י
and=he/it_blessed ʼElohīm DOM day the=seventh
For some languages it is more natural to begin verse 3 without a conjunction. Other languages use a conjunction here like Hebrew does. Do what is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “Then he designated the seventh day as a day to bless people” or “He honored the seventh day”
Note 2 topic: translate-key-terms
וַיְקַדֵּ֖שׁ אֹת֑וֹ
and=he/it_consecrated DOM=him/it
Alternate translation: “and made it a holy day,” or “and set it apart as a day especially devoted to him,” or “by setting it apart as a special day for people to rest and worship him,”
כִּ֣י ב֤וֹ
that/for/because/then/when in=him/it
Consider whether or not it is better in your language to begin a new sentence here. Alternate translation: “because during that day” or “He did that because during that day”
שָׁבַת֙ מִכָּל מְלַאכְתּ֔וֹ
he/it_rested from=all their=property/content
See how you translated a similar clause in verse 2. Alternate translation: “he ceased from all the work” or “he did not do any more work”
Note 3 topic: writing-pronouns
אֲשֶׁר בָּרָ֥א אֱלֹהִ֖ים לַעֲשֽׂוֹת
which/who he/it_created ʼElohīm for=doing
Alternate translation: “of creating that he had been doing.”
2:3 The first six days of creation involved separation (light from darkness, day from night, water from dry land). The last act of creation separated what is ordinary from what is holy, thus laying the foundation for Israel’s worship. It also anticipated a coming age of rest (Heb 4:1-11; 12:2; 13:14).
• The absence of the usual “morning and evening” reflects the Creator’s willingness to enter into unending fellowship with humankind.

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
