Exegesis
The prohibition employs kol melechet avodah {כָּל־מְלֶאכֶת עֲבֹדָה | kôl mə-le-ḵeṯ ʿă-vō-dāh} ‘all labor’ as the object of the negative imperfect lo taasu {לֹא תַעֲשׂוּ | lōʾ ta-ʿă-sû} ‘you shall not do,’ with kol indicating total exclusion. English preserves the Hebrew emphasis through the initial temporal clause and maintains the force of the prohibition with “shall.”
In context — Leviticus 23:7
On the first day, a holy assembly shall be for you; you shall not engage in labor .
