Lighting a fire was in the general category (of all the forbidden labors), and it left that category (for specific mention) to teach, viz.: Just as one is liable for lighting a fire — one of the thirty-nine proto-labors — in itself, so, is he liable for each one of the thirty-nine proto-labors in itself.
Lighting a Fire Was in the General Category of All
