² The Lord said, ‘Speak to Israel's people. They will go into the land that I will give to them. Then the land must have a Sabbath rest to the Lord. ³ They can plant seeds in the fields for six years. They can cut the leaves of the plants and they can harvest the fruit for six years. ⁴ In the seventh year, the land must have a rest. They must not plant seeds in the fields or cut the leaves.
