Exodus 23:10-13
New Living Translation
10 “Plant and harvest your crops for six years, 11 but let the land be renewed and lie uncultivated during the seventh year. Then let the poor among you harvest whatever grows on its own. Leave the rest for wild animals to eat. The same applies to your vineyards and olive groves.
12 “You have six days each week for your ordinary work, but on the seventh day you must stop working. This gives your ox and your donkey a chance to rest. It also allows your slaves and the foreigners living among you to be refreshed.
13 “Pay close attention to all my instructions. You must not call on the name of any other gods. Do not even speak their names.

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.
