1 Then the LORD {YHWH} said to Moses (drawn out) on Mount Sinai (thorny), 2 “Speak to the Israelites (God prevails) and say to them: When you⁺ enter the land that I am giving you⁺, the land itself must observe a Sabbath to the LORD {YHWH}. 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 {YHWH}. 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. Leviticus 25:1-7, Berean Annotated Bible. Public domain.
