I wonder how Sabbatarians apply these today.

Do not go out of your place
Exo. 16:29- "Everyone is to stay where he is on the seventh day; no one is to go out"

Do not bake or boil

Exo. 16:23- "Tomorrow is to be a day of rest, a holy Sabbath to the LORD. So bake what you want to bake and boil what you want to boil. Save whatever is left and keep it until morning."

Do not do any work
Exo. 20:10- "but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the LORD your God. On it you shall not do any work, neither you, nor your son or daughter, nor your manservant or maidservant, nor your animals, nor the alien within your gates."

Do not build a fire
Exo. 35:3- " Do not light a fire in any of your dwellings on the Sabbath day."

Do not carry a load
Jer. 17:27- "But if you do not obey me to keep the Sabbath day holy by not carrying any load as you come through the gates of Jerusalem on the Sabbath day"

Do not buy or sell
Neh. 10:31- "When the neighboring peoples bring merchandise or grain to sell on the Sabbath, we will not buy from them on the Sabbath or on any holy day"

Amos 8:5- "When will the New Moon be over
    that we may sell grain,
  and the Sabbath be ended
    that we may market wheat?"

Do not do you own pleasure (Isa. 58:13-14)
