What are the ramifications of the phrase, "u'va'Yom ha'Shevi'i Chag La'Hashem"?

1.

Ramban: Since "Chag" has connotations of 'Chagigah,' the Torah is informing us here that the seventh day of Pesach is the last day on which one may bring his Korban Chagigah. 1 As far as the Dinim of Yom-Tov is concerned, however, they are both equal - since they are both called "Mikra Kodesh." 2

Inasmuch as, although the first day of Pesach can be complemented (Tashlumin) until the seventh day, the seventh day does not.

Ramban: As the Pasuk specifically wrote earlier (12:16).

Oznayim la'Torah: This Parshah was said on the fifteenth of Nisan 1 - the day that they left Egypt. Hashem is hinting here at another miracle (Keri'as Yam-Suf) that is destined to take place on the seventh day.

As is evident from 13:4.
