Shabbos 150a: Shevus vs. d'Rabanan
Gershon Dubin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> asked:
The Gemara in Shabbos 94b (Mishna 10:6) refers for the first time to an
issur derabanan as a shevus. Is there a rule when an issur derabanan is
referred to as a shevus and when not?

The Kollel replies:
I did not see anyone address your question specifically, but this is the
way it appears to me:
There are two kinds of Isurei Shevus on Shabbos. As the Rambam (Hilchos
Shabbos 22:1) writes, "There are Shevusim that the Rabanan prohibited
because they are *similar* to Melachos, and there are Shevusim that the
Rabanan prohibited because they might *lead* to the transgression of an
Isur Sekilah."
The Gemara refers to the former as "Shevus" all the time, since they are
not Gezeiros but rather enactments in deference of the commandment
"Shabason -- Shevos!" (see Magid Mishnah there, and Gemara Shabbos 114b).
An example of these is Amirah l'Nochri, which the Gemara always refers to
as Shevus.
When addressing the second category (Gezeiros of Shabbos), the Gemara seems
to call them Shevus only when in order to contrast them to an Isur
d'Oraisa, e.g. when we first mentioned an Isur d'Oraisa, and then listed
these as "only Shevusim."
I hope this is helpful,
M. Kornfeld
