1And the LORD spoke to Moses at Mount Sinai, saying:2Speak 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.3Six years you shall sow your field, and six years you shall prune your vineyard, and you shall gather its yield.4But 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.5You 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.6The 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.7And for your livestock and for the living creatures that are in your land, all its produce shall be for food.
