Primary Verses:
-
Exodus 23:10-11
-
"And
six years thou shalt sow thy land, and shalt gather in
the fruits thereof:
But the seventh year
thou shalt let it rest and lie still;
that the poor of thy people may eat: and what they leave
the beasts of the field shall eat. In like manner thou
shalt deal with thy vineyard, and with thy oliveyard."
-
Leviticus 25:2-4
-
"Speak unto the children of
Israel, and say unto them, When ye come into the land
which I give you, then shall the land keep a sabbath
unto YHVH. Six years
thou shalt sow thy field, and six years thou shalt prune
thy vineyard, and gather in the fruit thereof;
But in the
seventh year shall be a sabbath of rest unto the land,
a sabbath for YHVH: thou shalt neither sow thy
field, nor prune thy vineyard."
