- יוֹם הַשִּׁשִּׁי — 'the sixth day' — uses the ordinal שִׁשִּׁי, an adjective agreeing with masculine יוֹם.
- וַיְכֻלּוּ ('and they were finished') is a vav-consecutive past form — the Biblical construction you meet head-on in Week 9.
- הַשָּׁמַיִם וְהָאָרֶץ — 'the heavens and the earth' — שָׁמַיִם is a fixed dual/plural; note the ה on both nouns joined by וְ.
