אב מלאכה ומלאכה העושה מלאכות הרבה מעין מלאכה אחת אינו חייב אלא חטאת אחת:
PRIMARY LABOUR.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' The general principle is this: a sin-offering in connection with the Sabbath is incurred for every unwitting transgression. The number of transgressions is determined by the number of unknown facts. Thus, when one is ignorant of the Sabbath law altogether, he is unaware of a single fact, and incurs one sin-offering only. If he forgets a number of Sabbaths, each is a separate fact; hence he is liable for each. If he knows that it is the Sabbath but forgets that certain labours are forbidden, each labour is a separate fact, and he is liable for each separately. — For primary (Heb. ab, lit., 'father') labours v. p. 3, n. 2.
