On the first and last day of the week, the Hebrews were required to abstain from ordinary work
(kǒlmᵉlě’ḵěṯ ‛ªḇōḏāh). These Hebrew terms are not synonymous. The term mᵉlā’ḵāh refers to the work that is highly skilled. The term ‛ǎḇōḏāh refers to physical labour. These two words seem to form a merism in which all types of work are envisioned (also Leviticus 23:7, Leviticus 23:8, Leviticus 23:21, Leviticus 23:35, Leviticus 23:36).
8 Vous offrirez à l'Eternel, pendant sept jours, des sacrifices consumés par le feu. Le septième jour, il y aura une sainte convocation: vous ne ferez aucune œuvre servile.
