Leviticus 25:5

Leviticus 25:5

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.

The Year of Jubilee

8 ‘And you shall count seven sabbaths of years for yourself, seven times seven years; and the time of the seven sabbaths of years shall be to you forty-nine years.

9 Then you shall cause the trumpet of the Jubilee to sound on the tenth day of the seventh month; ^aon the Day of Atonement you shall make the trumpet to sound throughout all your land.

John Wesley's Notes

<< Leviticus 25:4

Leviticus 25:6 >>

Of its own accord - From the grains that fell out of the ears the last reaping time. Thou shalt not reap - That is, as thy own peculiarly, but only so as others may reap it with thee, for present food. Undressed - Not cut off by thee, but suffered to grow for the use of the poor.
