Leviticus 25:2-7
2“Speak to the people of Israel and say to them, When you come into athe land that I give you, the land shall keep a Sabbath to the Lord. 3For six years you shall sow your field, and for six years you shall prune your vineyard and gather in its fruits, 4but 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 bYou 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. 6The 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, 7and for your cattle and for the wild animals that are in your land: eall its yield shall be for food. Leviticus 25:11-12
11That fiftieth year shall be a jubilee for you; in it fyou shall neither sow nor reap gwhat grows of itself nor gather the grapes from the undressed vines. 12For it is a jubilee. It shall be holy to you. hYou may eat the produce of the field. ▼▼Or countryside
Leviticus 25:20
20And if you say, j‘What shall we eat in the seventh year, if kwe may not sow or gather in our crop?’Leviticus 25:22
22 lWhen you sow in the eighth year, you will be eating some of mthe old crop; you shall eat the old until the ninth year, when its crop arrives.Leviticus 26:34-35
34 n“Then the land shall enjoy ▼▼Or pay for; twice in this verse; also verse 43
its Sabbaths as long as it lies desolate, while you are in your enemies’ land; then the land shall rest, and enjoy its Sabbaths. 35As long as it lies desolate it shall have rest, the rest that it did not have on your Sabbaths when you were dwelling in it.
