----- Original Message ----- From: "Yaakov Stein" <yaakov_s AT rad.com>
According to Exodus,
the Sabbath is to be observed in XRY$ and QCYR,
not "all year round".



Without getting into the whole debate, XRY$ and QCYR here are verbs, "plowing and harvesting", which are forbidden on the Sabbath, not "you shall rest at plowing-time and at harvest-time". If they did that, what would they eat?
