The Sabbath Year

1 ^aThe Lord spoke to Moses on Mount Sinai, saying, 2 “Speak to the people of Israel and say to them, When you come into ^bthe land that I give you, the land shall keep a Sabbath to the Lord. 3 For six years you shall sow your field, and for six years you shall prune your vineyard and gather in its fruits, 4 but in the seventh year there shall be a Sabbath of solemn rest for the land, a Sabbath to the Lord. You shall not sow your field or prune your vineyard. 5 ^cYou shall not reap what grows of itself in your harvest, or gather the grapes of your undressed vine. It shall be a year of solemn rest for the land. 6 The Sabbath of the land ^{▼▼That is, the Sabbath produce of the land} shall provide food for you, for yourself and for your male and female slaves ^{▼▼Or servants} and for your hired worker and the sojourner who lives with you, 7 and for your cattle and for the wild animals that are in your land: ^fall its yield shall be for food.
