Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye shall come into the land which I give you, the (A)land shall [a]keep Sabbath unto the Lord.

[b]Six years thou shalt sow thy field, and six years thou shalt cut thy vineyard, and gather the fruit thereof.

But the seventh year shall be a Sabbath of rest unto the land: it shall be the Lord’s Sabbath: thou shalt neither sow thy field nor cut thy vineyard.
