Damascus Document
on the Sabbath
“On the Sabbath day let no man wear soiled garments. No man shall be dressed in garments on which there is dust on the Sabbath day. No man shall take out of his tent a vessel or food on the Sabbath day. No man shall lift an animal which has fallen into water on the Sabbath day. But if a man falls into water on the Sabbath, he shall pass to him his garment to lift him out, but he shall not carry an instrument to lift him out on the Sabbath day. “ (p 155, Vermes)
