The Bible provides specific instructions on what should not be done on the Shabbat, emphasizing rest and a cessation of work. Here are some of the directives:

.

1. No Work:

The most general commandment is the prohibition of work on the Sabbath.

Exodus 20:10 – “But the seventh day is a Sabbath to the Lord your God. On it you shall not do any work…”

.

2. No Gathering Wood:

.

As illustrated in the story from Numbers, gathering wood was considered work and thus prohibited.

Numbers 15:32-36

.

3. No Kindling Fire:

.

There was a specific prohibition on lighting a fire on the Sabbath day.

Exodus 35:3 – “Do not light a fire in any of your dwellings on the Sabbath day.”

.

4. No Buying or Selling:

.

In the time of Nehemiah, the Israelites were reprimanded for engaging in commerce on the Sabbath.

Nehemiah 10:31 – “When the neighboring peoples bring merchandise or grain to sell on the Sabbath, we will not buy from them on the Sabbath or on any holy day.”

.

5. No Carrying Loads:

.

Jeremiah speaks against carrying loads on the Sabbath day.

Jeremiah 17:21-22 – “Do not carry any load on the Sabbath day or bring anything in through the gates of Jerusalem.”

.

6. Rest for Everyone:

.

The commandment extended to all people within an Israelite household, including servants and even animals.

Deuteronomy 5:14 – “But the seventh day is a Sabbath to the Lord your God; on it you shall not do any work, neither you, nor your son or daughter, nor your male or female servant, nor your ox, your donkey or any of your animals, nor any foreigner residing in your towns, so that your male and female servants may rest, as you do.”

.

These commands are centered around the idea of rest and refraining from one’s usual labor, allowing a time of reflection and rejuvenation, and creating space for worship.
