3. This approach of Tosafot raises a question regarding the" Ovadin De'chol" Prohibitions that were discussed, such as the weighing Prohibition etc.,( or toil or hardship Prohibitions according to the Ramban as above) are they only prohibited in public and permitted when done in private? Another possibility might be that Tosafot makes a distinction between two types of" Ovadin De'chol" Prohibitions. Those that were prohibited in public only for the fear that they would seem to be secular acts (" SINT PTIIV DIÚn" inn"=), and those that were prohibited in all situations and places (" SINT PTDIV"=). As the Ramban's approach is that" Ovadin De'chol" Prohibitions are hardship and toil Prohibitions that apply to both Sabbath and Yom- tov equally in public and private, and as expected we find that the Ramban's approach( as transmitted by his son in his commentary on the Tractate Bezah) supports the second possibility.

D." Mimtzo cheftzecha ve'dabber davar" Prohibitions

1. Prohibitions and rulings regarding dress styles, walking, business and conversation were derived from Isaiah 58, 13 by the Bavli. These Prohibitions were later more clearly defined by the Amoraim, but in the Talmud there is no suggestion of a connection between these Prohibitions and the category of" Ovadin De'chol" Prohibitions.

2. In the course of time the differences between these two categories became blurred by many of the commentators. We find this in the commentaries of Rabbi Perachya, the Rashba, and others including the later commentators. The Rambam allocates a special place for these Prohibitions in chapter 24 of the laws of the Sabbath, distinct, it would seem, from the other" Shevut" Prohibitions. However, after discussing the matter and weighing different proposals of supporting evidence, we have come to the conclusion that in his opinion this group of Prohibitions is included in the" Shevut"
