Note:	31	284
Chazal are divided, why this verse is repeated despite that this Melacha is forbidden anyway. Some say that this verse "comes to differentiate," that is to differentiate and say that each Melacha is considered a desecration of Shabbat independently, therefore one who transgresses all 39 Melachot must bring a sin offering for each one, if it is done inadvertently/Shogeig. There is another opinion that says that it "comes to state that it is a Lav", meaning that it is not an Av Melacha, but a Lav (ban). The difference of these two views is in the laws of Yom Tov.	31	284
