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?
