Leviticus 25:1-7 ▼

1 And Jehovah will speak to Moses, in mount Sinai, saying,

2 Speak to the sons of Israel and say to them, When ye shall come into the land which I gave to you, the land shall rest a Sabbath to Jehovah.

3 Six years thou shalt sow thy field, and six years thou shalt prune thy vineyard, and gather its produce;

4 And in the seventh year, a Sabbath of rest shall be to the land, a Sabbath to Jehovah: thy field thou shalt not sow, and thy vineyard thou shalt not prune.

5 The overflowing of thy harvest thou shalt not reap, and the grapes of thy separation thou shalt not gather: a year of the Sabbaths shall be to the land.

6 And the Sabbath of the land shall be to you for food; to thee and to thy servant, and to thy maid, and to thy hireling, and to thine inhabitant sojourning with thee.

7 And to thy cattle, and to the beast which is in thy land shall all its produce be for food.
