Leviticus 25:2-7
25:2 “Speak to the Israelites and tell them, ‘When you enter the land that I am giving you, the land must observe a Sabbath
to the
Lord.
25:3 Six years you may sow your field, and six years you may prune your vineyard and gather the produce,
25:4 but in the seventh year the land must have a Sabbath of complete rest
– a Sabbath to the
Lord. You must not sow your field or
prune your vineyard.
25:5 You must not gather in the aftergrowth of your harvest and you must not pick the grapes of your unpruned
vines; the land must have a year of complete rest.
25:6 You may have the Sabbath produce
of the land to eat – you, your male servant, your female servant, your hired worker, the resident foreigner who stays with you,
25:7 your cattle, and the wild animals that are in your land – all its produce will be for you
to eat.
Leviticus 25:11-12
25:11 That fiftieth year will be your jubilee; you must not sow the land, harvest its aftergrowth, or pick the grapes of its unpruned vines.
25:12 Because that year is a jubilee, it will be holy to you – you may eat its produce
from the field.
Leviticus 25:20
25:20 If you say, ‘What will we eat in the seventh year if we do not sow and gather our produce?’
Leviticus 25:22
25:22 and you may sow the eighth year and eat from that sixth year’s produce
– old produce. Until you bring in the ninth year’s produce,
you may eat old produce.
Leviticus 26:34-35
26:34 “‘Then the land will make up for its Sabbaths all the days it lies desolate while you are in the land of your enemies; then the land will rest and make up its Sabbaths.
26:35 All the days of the desolation it will have the rest it did not have on your Sabbaths when you lived on it.
