Leviticus 25

1 And the LORD spake unto Moses in mount Sinai, saying,

2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye come into the land which I give unto you, then the land shall keep the sabbath unto the LORD.

3 Six years you shall sow your land, and six years you shall prune your vineyard, and reap its newness:

4 But in the seventh year there shall be a sabbath of rest for the land, a sabbath unto the LORD: thou shalt neither sow thy field nor prune thy vineyard.

5 That which is born of thine own harvest thou shalt not reap, and the grapes of thy untreated vine thou shalt not reap: a year of rest shall be unto the earth.

6 But the Sabbath of the earth shall be food for you, and for your servant, and for your maidservant, and for your hireling, and for the stranger who sojourns with you;

7 And to thy cattle, and to thy beasts, which are in thy land, shall all their increase be for meat.
