Leviticus 25:1-7

¹And the Lord spake to Moses in the hill or mount of Sinai, and said,

²Speak thou to the sons of Israel, and thou shalt say to them, When ye have entered into the land which I shall give to you, the earth keep the sabbath of the Lord;

³six years thou shalt sow thy field, and six years thou shalt cut thy vine-yard, and thou shalt gather the fruits thereof;

⁴forsooth in the seventh year shall be the sabbath of the earth, of the resting of the Lord; thou shalt not sow the field, and thou shalt not cut the vineyard,

⁵thou shalt not reap those things which the earth bringeth forth freely, and thou shalt not gather the grapes of thy first fruits, as vintage; for it is the year of resting of the land;

⁶but those fruits shall be to you into meat, to thee, and to thy servant, and to thine handmaid, and to thine hired man, and to the comeling that is a pilgrim with thee;

⁷all things that come forth, shall give meat to thy work beasts, and thy small beasts.
