Leviticus 25:2-6

New Life Version

² “Say to the people of Israel, ‘When you come to the land I will give you, then the land will have a Year of Rest to the Lord. ³ Six years you will plant seeds in your field. Six years you will take care of your vines and gather their fruit. ⁴ But the seventh year will be a Year of Rest for the land, a Year of Rest to the Lord. You will not plant seeds in your field or take care of your vines. ⁵ You will not gather what grows of itself in your field. And do not gather the fruit of the vines that have not been cared for. The land will have a Year of Rest. ⁶ During the Year of Rest the land will give food for you, for your men and women servants, the man you pay to work for you, and the stranger who lives with you.
