Does the Yom Kippur positive commandment to cease from work derive from the same source as the affliction commandments?
Synopsis
The Rambam (as quoted by the Aruch HaShulchan) identifies separate positive and negative commandments: 'Shabbat Shabbaton' is the positive commandment to rest from work, while 'kol melakha lo ta'asu' is the negative commandment. Violation carries karet for deliberate and a fixed sin-offering for inadvertent transgression.
