John Gill Bible Commentary

Ye shall do no servile work therein,.... Only such as was necessary for dressing food, but not any manual work, such as servants were employed in on other days, as agriculture or any mechanic business: but ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the Lord; a burnt offering, and what that was may be seen in Num 29:1.
