That actually proves the point further. The second part is clarification to tell you how to keep it holy - not a separate and distinct command. Therefore, if you do servile work, you are not obeying the command to keep the sabbath holy. It's one cohesive thought. The same as with the negative of "do not make any graven image"...for what purpose? To bow down and worship. The fourth is: "Keep the sabbath holy by not doing servile work."
