״מֵאַחַת מֵהֵנָּה״ — לְרַבּוֹת תּוֹלָדוֹת.

In the sugya: The inclusive language is applied to the system of primary labors and their derivatives in the laws of Shabbat.

Type of Learning

Ribbuy of toldos — chatas liability extends to both primary prohibited labors and their derivatives.

What Is Learned

Chatas liability extends to both primary prohibited labors and their derivatives. The phrase “from one of them” is read as encompassing not only the thirty-nine primary categories of labor but also the toldot that derive from them. An unwitting violation of a toldah therefore obligates a chatas in the same way as a violation of an av melakhah.
