Genesis 2:1-4
Exodus 20:8-11
Exodus 31:12-17
Exodus 35:1-3
Exodus 16:21-30
21

So they gathered it every morning, each as much as he needed to eat; for when
the sun grew hot, it would melt. 22On the sixth day they gathered double the
amount of food, two omers for each; and when all the chieftains of the community
came and told Moses, 23he said to them, This is what the LORD meant: Tomorrow
is a day of rest, a holy sabbath of the LORD. Bake what you would bake and boil
what you would boil; and all that is left put aside to be kept until morning. 24So
they put it aside until morning, as Moses had ordered; and it did not turn foul, and
there were no maggots in it. 25Then Moses said, Eat it today, for today is a sabbath
of the LORD; you will not find it today on the plain. 26Six days you shall gather it;
on the seventh day, the sabbath, there will be none. 27Yet some of the people went
out on the seventh day to gather, but they found nothing. 28And the LORD said to
Moses, How long will you men refuse to obey My commandments and My
teachings? 29Mark that the LORD has given you the sabbath; therefore He gives
you two days' food on the sixth day. Let everyone remain where he is: let no one
leave his place on the seventh day. 30So the people remained inactive on the
seventh day.

Isaiah 56:1-8
Isaiah 58:13-14
Jeremiah 17:19-25
19 Thus said the Lord to me: Go and stand in the Peoples Gate, by which the kings of
Judah enter and by which they go out, and in all the gates of Jerusalem, 20and say to them:

Passages
Hear the word of the Lord, you kings of Judah, and all Judah, and all the inhabitants of
Jerusalem, who enter by these gates. 21Thus says the Lord: For the sake of your lives, take
care that you do not bear a burden on the Sabbath day or bring it in by the gates of
Jerusalem. 22And do not carry a burden out of your houses on the Sabbath or do any work,
but keep the Sabbath day holy, as I commanded your ancestors. 23Yet they did not listen or
incline their ear; they stiffened their necks and would not hear or receive instruction.
24 But if you listen to me, says the Lord, and bring in no burden by the gates of this city
on the Sabbath day, but keep the Sabbath day holy and do no work on it, 25then there shall
enter by the gates of this city kings* who sit on the throne of David, riding in chariots and
on horses, they and their officials, the people of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem;
and this city shall be inhabited for ever.

Robert Goldenberg, The Place of the Sabbath in Rabbinic


Judaism, from The Sabbath in Jewish and Christian Traditions,
ed. T. Eskenazi et al. (New York: Crossroad, 1991)
Mishnah Shabbat 7:2
7:2 The primary labors [prohibited on the Sabbath] are forty save one:
(1) sowing, (2) plowing, (3) reaping, (4) binding sheaves, (5) threshing, (6) winnowing,
(7) selecting, (8) grinding, (9) sifting, (10) kneading, (11) baking;
(12) shearing wool, (13) bleaching it, (14) hackling it, (15) dyeing it, (16) spinning, (17)
stretching the threads, (18) making two meshes, (19) weaving two threads, (20) dividing
two threads, (21) tying, (22) untying, (23) sewing two stitches, (24) tearing in order to
sew two stitches;
B(25) hunting a deer, (26) slaughtering it, (27) flaying it, (28) salting it, (29) curing its
hide, (30) scraping it, (31) slicing it, (32) writing two letters, (33) erasing in order to write
two letters;
(34) building, (35) pulling down;
(36) extinguishing, (37) kindling;
(38) striking with a hammer;
(39) taking out from one domain to another.
These, then, are the primary labors: forty save one.
Primary labors: these labors are primary in the sense that there are secondary and
tertiary labors that unfold under each of them. Each, then, is an archetype (or father).
So, for example, labor 11, baking, includes cooking food and boiling water. Labors 111 are the steps required to get wheat in order to bake bread; labors 12-24 are the steps
required to get wool in order to sew a garment; labors 25-33 are the steps required to get
leather in order to write something; the remaining six belong to diverse categories. This
list provides the framework for most of the rest of the tractate. The Mishnah devotes
more attention to the prohibition of carrying (no. 39) than to any of the other labors.
(39) taking out from one domain to another: I.e. from the private domain to the public, or
from the public to the private.
