And Jehovah spoke to Moses in Mount Sinai, saying,

Speak to the sons of Israel, and say to them, When you come into the land which I am giving to you, then the land shall keep a sabbath to Jehovah.

You shall sow your field six years, and you shall prune your vineyard six years, and shall gather its produce.

And in the seventh year shall be a sabbath of rest to the land, a sabbath to Jehovah. You shall not sow your field, and you shall not prune your vineyard.

You shall not reap that which grows of itself of your harvest; and you shall not gather the grapes of your unkept vine; it shall be a year of rest to the land.

And the sabbath of the land shall be to you for food, to you, and to your male slave, and to your female slave, and to your hired one, and to your tenant, those living among you;

and to your livestock, and to the animal in your land, all its produce shall be for food.
