Leviticus 25:4-6
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,
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.
Leviticus 26:43
26:43 The land will be abandoned by them
in order that it may make up for
its Sabbaths while it is made desolate
without them,
and they will make up for their iniquity because
they have rejected my regulations and have abhorred
my statutes.
Zechariah 1:12
1:12 The angel of the
Lord then asked, “
Lord who rules over all,
how long before you have compassion on Jerusalem
and the other cities of Judah which you have been so angry with for these seventy years?”
