“This is to be a lasting ordinance for you: On the tenth day of the seventh month you must deny yourselves and not do any work—whether native-born or a foreigner residing among you—
-
“‘Do not defraud or rob your neighbor. “‘Do not hold back the wages of a hired worker overnight.
-
“‘No one outside a priest’s family may eat the sacred offering, nor may the guest of a priest or his hired worker eat it.

The Sabbath
“‘There are six days when you may work, but the seventh day is a day of sabbath rest, a day of sacred assembly. You are not to do any work; wherever you live, it is a sabbath to the Lord.
-
On the first day hold a sacred assembly and do no regular work.
-
For seven days present a food offering to the Lord. And on the seventh day hold a sacred assembly and do no regular work.’”
-
On that same day you are to proclaim a sacred assembly and do no regular work. This is to be a lasting ordinance for the generations to come, wherever you live.
-
Do no regular work, but present a food offering to the Lord.’”
-
Do not do any work on that day, because it is the Day of Atonement, when atonement is made for you before the Lord your God.
-
I will destroy from among their people anyone who does any work on that day.
-
You shall do no work at all. This is to be a lasting ordinance for the generations to come, wherever you live.
-
The first day is a sacred assembly; do no regular work.
-
For seven days present food offerings to the Lord, and on the eighth day hold a sacred assembly and present a food offering to the Lord. It is the closing special assembly; do no regular work.
-
Whatever the land yields during the sabbath year will be food for you—for yourself, your male and female servants, and the hired worker and temporary resident who live among you,
-
“‘If any of your fellow Israelites become poor and sell themselves to you, do not make them work as slaves.
-
They are to be treated as hired workers or temporary residents among you; they are to work for you until the Year of Jubilee.
-
They and their buyer are to count the time from the year they sold themselves up to the Year of Jubilee. The price for their release is to be based on the rate paid to a hired worker for that number of years.
-
They are to be treated as workers hired from year to year; you must see to it that those to whom they owe service do not rule over them ruthlessly.
