'Work' in the Bible

When any one of them dies and falls on anything it becomes unclean—any item of wood, clothing, leather, sackcloth, or any implement used for work. It is to be rinsed with water and will remain unclean until evening; then it will be clean.

“This is to be a permanent statute for you: In the seventh month, on the tenth day of the month you are to practice self-denial and do no work, both the native and the foreigner who resides among you.

“Work may be done for six days, but on the seventh day there must be a Sabbath of complete rest, a sacred assembly. You are not to do any work; it is a Sabbath to the Lord wherever you live.

On the first day you are to hold a sacred assembly; you are not to do any daily work.

You are to present a fire offering to the Lord for seven days. On the seventh day there will be a sacred assembly; you must not do any daily work.”

On that same day you are to make a proclamation and hold a sacred assembly. You are not to do any daily work. This is to be a permanent statute wherever you live throughout your generations.

You must not do any daily work, but you must present a fire offering to the Lord.”

On this particular day you are not to do any work, for it is a Day of Atonement to make atonement for yourselves before the Lord your God.

I will destroy among his people anyone who does any work on this same day.

You are not to do any work. This is a permanent statute throughout your generations wherever you live.

There is to be a sacred assembly on the first day; you are not to do any daily work.

You are to present a fire offering to the Lord for seven days. On the eighth day you are to hold a sacred assembly and present a fire offering to the Lord. It is a solemn gathering; you are not to do any daily work.

Let him stay with you as a hired hand or temporary resident; he may work for you until the Year of Jubilee.
