Re: Beitzah 016a: Punishing non-Jews "for Shabbos"
Yeshayahu HaKohen Hollander asked:
How can a non-Jew be literally Hayyav anything if he keeps Shabbat? After
all it is not one of the 7 mitsvoth that a non-Jew not keep shabbat?
Yeshayahu HaKohen Hollander
----------------------------------------------
The Kollel replies:
The Gemara in Sanhedrin (58b) asks why this is not listed among the seven
Mitzvos of Benei Noach. The Gemara answers that since it is learned from
"Yom va'Lailah Lo Yishbosu," it is a positive commandment to work, rather
than a negative commandment against resting on Shabbos.
