The Sabbath Year

25 Then^[a] Yahweh spoke to Moses on Mount Sinai,^[b] saying, ² “Speak to the Israelites,^[c] and say to them, ‘When you^[d] come into the land that I am about to give to you,^[e] then^[f] the land shall observe a Sabbath for Yahweh. ³ Six years you^[g] shall sow your field, and six years you shall prune your vineyard, and you shall gather its yield. ⁴ But^[h] in the seventh year it shall be a Sabbath of complete rest^[i] for the land—a Sabbath for Yahweh; you^[j] must not sow your field, and you must not prune your vineyard. ⁵ You^[k] must not reap your harvest’s aftergrowth, and you must not harvest the grapes of your unpruned vines—it shall be a year of complete rest^[l] for the land. ⁶ And a Sabbath of the land shall be for food for you:^[m] for you^[n] and for your slave and for your slave woman and for your hired worker and for your temporary residents^[o] who are dwelling as aliens with you; ⁷ and all its yield shall be for your^[p] domestic animal and for the wild animal, which are in your land to eat.
