Leviticus 25:19-22

19You will be able to grow food on the land. And the people will have plenty to eat. They will be safe.

20The people may ask what they will eat in the seventh year. They will not have planted any seeds.

21God will cause a lot of food to grow in the sixth year. They will have food for three more years.

22When a person plants seed in the eighth year he will still be eating the crops that he planted in the sixth year. The next time he will harvest the plants from the fields will be in the ninth year.
