1 The LORD spoke to Moses on Mount Sinai, 2 |Tell the Israelites: When you come into the land I'm giving you, the land will celebrate a year to honor the LORD. 3 Then, for six years you may plant crops in your fields, prune your vineyards, and gather what they produce. 4 However, the seventh year will be a festival year for the land. It will be a year to honor the LORD. Don't plant crops in your fields or prune your vineyards. 5 Don't harvest what grows by itself or harvest grapes from your vines. That year will be a festival for the land. 6 Whatever the land produces during that year is for all of you to eat-for you, your male and female slaves, your hired workers, foreigners among you, 7 your animals, and the wild animals in your land. Everything the land produces will be yours to eat. Leviticus 25:1-7, God's Word Translation. Copyright © 1995 by God's Word to the Nations.
