[25:1] The Lord spoke to Moses on Mount Sinai, saying,
[25:2] “Speak to the people of Israel and say to them, When you come into the land that I give you, the land shall keep a Sabbath to the Lord.
[25:3] For six years you shall sow your field, and for six years you shall prune your vineyard and gather in its fruits,
[25:4] but in the seventh year there shall be a Sabbath of solemn rest for the land, a Sabbath to the Lord. You shall not sow your field or prune your vineyard.
[25:5] You shall not reap what grows of itself in your harvest, or gather the grapes of your undressed vine. It shall be a year of solemn rest for the land.
[25:6] The Sabbath of the land shall provide food for you, for yourself and for your male and female slaves and for your hired worker and the sojourner who lives with you,
[25:7] and for your cattle and for the wild animals that are in your land: all its yield shall be for food.
