"Now ^(C1)you shall sow your land for six years and gather in its yield,

but in the seventh year you shall let it ^(F1)rest and lie uncultivated, so that the needy of your people may eat; and whatever they leave the animal of the field may eat. You are to do the same with your vineyard and your olive grove.

"^(C1)For six days you are to do your work, but on the seventh day you shall cease from labor so that your ox and your donkey may rest, and the son of your female slave, as well as the stranger residing with you, may refresh themselves.

"Now ^(C1)concerning everything which I have said to you, be careful; and ^(C2)do not mention the name of other gods, nor let them be heard ^(F1)from your mouth.

"^(C1)Three times a year you shall celebrate a feast to Me.

"You shall keep ^(C1)the Feast of Unleavened Bread; for seven days you are to eat unleavened bread, as I commanded you, at the appointed time in the ^(C2)month of Abib, for in ^(F1)that month you came out of Egypt. And ^(F2)(C3)no one is to appear before Me empty-handed.

"Also you shall keep ^(C1)the Feast of the Harvest of the first fruits of your labors from what you sow in the field; also the Feast of the Ingathering at the end of the year ^(C2)when you gather in the fruit of your labors from the field.

"^(C1)Three times a year all your males shall appear before the Lord ^(F1)GOD.

"^(C1)You shall not offer the blood of My sacrifice with leavened bread; ^(C2)nor is the fat of My ^(F1)feast to remain overnight until morning.

"You shall bring ^(C1)the choice first fruits of your soil into the house of the LORD your God. "^(C2)You are not to boil a young goat in the milk of its mother.
