2 For six days, work is to be done, but the seventh day shall be your holy day, a Sabbath of rest to the Lord. Whoever does any work on it must be put to death. 3 Do not light a fire in any of your dwellings on the Sabbath day."
Exo 35:2
Six days, work is to be done—Work for the tabernacle, but the seventh day—You must not strike a stroke, no not at the tabernacle—work; the honour of the Sabbath was above that of the sanctuary.
Exo 35:3
Do not light a fire—For any servile work, as that of smiths or plumbers. We do not find that ever this prohibition extended farther.
In any of your dwellings—Their private dwellings, but not the habitation of the Lord, or the house of the sanctuary; and on this score they allow of kindling a fire in Beth Moked, an apartment in the temple, where a fire was constantly kept for the priests that kept watch to warm themselves at.
