Exegesis
The prohibition ve-khol-melakhah lo ta'asu {וְכָל־מְלָאכָה לֹא תַעֲשׂוּ | wə-ḵōl-me-lā-ḵā lōʾ ta-ʿă-sū} is absolute, including haezrach {הָאֶזְרָ֔ח | hā-ʾe-zrā-ḥ} ‘native-born’ and ve-ha-ger ha-gar {וְהַגֵּר הַגָּר | wə-ha-gēr ha-gār} ‘the sojourner,’ with the participle of hagar emphasizing ongoing residence. English renders the sequence in segmented clauses to preserve legal nuance and communal scope.
In context — Leviticus 16:29
And it shall be for you an everlasting statute ; in the seventh month, on the tenth day of the month, you shall afflict your souls , and you shall do no work of any kind, whether native-born or sojourner among you.
