The Sabbath Year for the Land

1

The LORD said to Moses in Mount Sinai,

2

“Speak to the children of Israel, and tell them, ‘When you come into the land which I give you, then the land shall keep a Sabbath to the LORD.

3

You shall sow your field six years, and you shall prune your vineyard six years, and gather in its fruits;

4

but in the seventh year there shall be a Sabbath of solemn rest for the land, a Sabbath to the LORD. You shall not sow your field or prune your vineyard.

5

What grows of itself in your harvest you shall not reap, and you shall not gather the grapes of your undressed vine. It shall be a year of solemn rest for the land.

6

The Sabbath of the land shall be for food for you; for yourself, for your servant, for your maid, for your hired servant, and for your stranger, who lives as a foreigner with you.

7

For your livestock also, and for the animals that are in your land, shall all its increase be for food.
