Commentary for Kiddushin 74:10
והשתא דאמרת חובת הגוף נוהגת בין בא"י בין בח"ל מושב דכתב רחמנא גבי שבת ל"ל איצטריך ס"ד אמינא הואיל ובענינא דמועדות כתיבא תיבעי קידוש כי מועדות קמ"ל
hence we are informed [that it is not so]. Now that you say that a personal duty must be practised both within the Land and without the Land, what is the purpose of 'dwelling,' which the Divine Law wrote in connection with the Sabbath?<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' V.

Daf Shevui to Kiddushin
Leviticus 23:3 states that Shabbat should be observed in “all of your settlements.” The verse emphasizes that Shabbat is obligatory everywhere lest we think that it requires “sanctification” as do the Festivals. This refers to the sanctification of the new moon by the court, a practice done only in Judea. Shabbat is not dependent on the new moon, and therefore it is observed in “all your settlements.”
