Exegesis
The infinitive leqaddesh {לְקַדֵּשׁ | lə-qad-dēsh} “to sanctify” states the positive Sabbath charge, paralleled by u-lebilti se’et massa u-vo {וּלְבִלְתִּי שְׂאֵת מַשָּׂא וּבֹא | û-lə-ḇil-tî śə-’ēṯ maś-śā’ û-ḇō} “and in order not to carry a burden or to enter,” defining the prohibitions.
Root and etymology
l-blamed–bet
“heart, inner self”
In context — Jeremiah 17:27
But if you do not listen to Me to sanctify the Sabbath day and do not carry a burden or enter through the gates of Jerusalem on that day, then I will kindle a fire in its gates, and it will devour the palaces of Jerusalem, and it will not be quenched.
