Leviticus 25:4

2 “Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them: ‘When you come into the land which I give you, then the land shall ^akeep a sabbath to the Lord.

3 Six years you shall sow your field, and six years you shall prune your vineyard, and gather its fruit;

4 but in the ^aseventh year there shall be a sabbath of solemn ^brest for the land, a sabbath to the Lord. You shall neither sow your field nor prune your vineyard.

5 ^aWhat grows of its own accord of your harvest you shall not reap, nor gather the grapes of your untended vine, for it is a year of rest for the land.

6 And the sabbath produce of the land shall be food for you: for you, your male and female servants, your hired man, and the stranger who dwells with you,

7 for your livestock and the beasts that are in your land—all its produce shall be for food.
