Chapter 25
1
And the LORD spoke to Moses at Mount Sinai, saying:
2
Speak to the sons of Israel and say to them: When you come to the land that I am giving you, then the land shall keep a sabbath rest to the LORD.
3
Six years you shall sow your field, and six years you shall prune your vineyard, and you shall gather its yield.
4
But in the seventh year there shall be a sabbath of complete rest for the land, a sabbath to the LORD. You shall not sow your field or prune your vineyard.
5
You shall not reap the aftergrowth of your harvest, and you shall not gather the grapes of your Nazirite; it shall be a year of sabbath rest for the land.
6
The sabbath of the land shall be food for you—for you, your male servants, your female servants, your hired workers, and your resident aliens, the sojourners with you.
7
And for your livestock and for the living creatures that are in your land, all its produce shall be for food.
