Leviticus 25:1-5 ▼

1 The LORD spoke to Moses on Mount Sinai:

2 “Speak to the Israelites and tell them: When you enter the land I am giving you, the land will observe a Sabbath to the LORD.

3 You may sow your field for six years, and you may prune your vineyard and gather its produce for six years.

4 But there will be a Sabbath of complete rest for the land in the seventh year, a Sabbath to the LORD: you are not to sow your field or prune your vineyard.

5 You are not to reap what grows by itself from your crop, or harvest the grapes of your untended vines. It is to be a year of complete rest for the land.
