Judgments About Work and Rest
10 “(A)Now you shall sow your land for six years and gather in its produce, 11 but on the seventh year you shall let it [a]rest and lie fallow, so that the needy of your people may eat; and whatever they leave the beast of the field may eat. Thus you shall do with your vineyard and your olive grove.
12 “(B)Six days you are to do your work, but on the seventh day you shall [b]rest so that your ox and your donkey may [c]rest, and the son of your maidservant, as well as your sojourner, may refresh themselves. 13 Now (C)concerning everything which I have said to you, beware; and (D)do not mention the name of other gods, nor let them be heard [d]from your mouth.

Revised Standard Version
Sabbatical Year and Sabbath
10 “For six years you shall sow your land and gather in its yield; 11 but the seventh year you shall let it rest and lie fallow, that the poor of your people may eat; and what they leave the wild beasts may eat. You shall do likewise with your vineyard, and with your olive orchard.
12 “Six days you shall do your work, but on the seventh day you shall rest; that your ox and your ass may have rest, and the son of your bondmaid, and the alien, may be refreshed. 13 Take heed to all that I have said to you; and make no mention of the names of other gods, nor let such be heard out of your mouth.
