The Sabbath Year for the Land
Leviticus 25:1-7
1
Then the LORD said to Moses on Mount Sinai,
2
“Speak to the Israelites and say to them: When you enter the land that I am giving you, the land itself must observe a Sabbath to the LORD.
3
For six years you may sow your field and prune your vineyard and gather its crops.
4
But in the seventh year there shall be a Sabbath of complete rest for the land—a Sabbath to the LORD. You are not to sow your field or prune your vineyard.
5
You are not to reap the aftergrowth of your harvest or gather the grapes of your untended vines. The land must have a year of complete rest.
6
Whatever the land yields during the Sabbath year shall be food for you—for yourself, your manservant and maidservant, the hired hand or foreigner who stays with you,
7
and for your livestock and the wild animals in your land. All its growth may serve as food.
