2 “Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them: ‘When you come into the land which I give you, then the land shall (A)keep a sabbath to the Lord. 3 Six years you shall sow your field, and six years you shall prune your vineyard, and gather its fruit; 4 but in the (B)seventh year there shall be a sabbath of solemn (C)rest for the land, a sabbath to the Lord.
