The Problem of the Seventh Year (LEV 25:18-22)

[25:18] Obey all the Lord's laws and commands, so that you may live in safety in the land.

[25:19] The land will produce its crops, and you will have all you want to eat and will live in safety.

[25:20] But someone may ask what there will be to eat during the seventh year, when no fields are planted and no crops gathered.

[25:21] The Lord will bless the land in the sixth year so that it will produce enough food for two years.

[25:22] When you plant your fields in the eighth year, you will still be eating what you harvested during the sixth year, and you will have enough to eat until the crops you plant that year are harvested.
