How many, and which, melachot of shabbos are explicitly mentioned in the Chumash?
For example, I know the Chumash mentions not making a fire; is this the only example of such or are there more which the Chumash states?

Some say making fire is not a melakha because it is mentioned separately– Double AA ♦Jun 30 '21 at 11:49

There are some examples in Tanakh but not Chumash. Are you interested in hearing those?– AaronJun 30 '21 at 16:05

אֵת אֲשֶׁר־תֹּאפוּ אֵפוּ וְאֵת אֲשֶׁר־תְּבַשְּׁלוּ בַּשֵּׁלוּ, shemos 16:23, is a non-explicit mention.– MordechaiJun 30 '21 at 21:12

On the most basic level, I'd wager 'melacha' means any kind of work in exchange for money (or goods)– IljaJun 30 '21 at 22:27

On the level of peshat, ploughing and harvesting are mentioned in Shemot 34:21.
Also, some derive the melachah of hotza'ah ("carrying") from Shemot 36:6 (see Shabbat 96b) or from Shemot 16:29 (see Eruvin 17b with Tosafot).

Even though it's in the question, since there is no source, and just for completeness, you may want to add havarah שמות ל"ה:ג: לֹא־תְבַעֲר֣וּ אֵ֔שׁ בְּכֹ֖ל מֹשְׁבֹֽתֵיכֶ֑ם בְּי֖וֹם הַשַּׁבָּֽת׃ sefaria.org/Exodus.35.3 Jun 30 '21 at 14:29
