Exodus 23:9-11

9“1You shall not oppress a 2stranger, since you yourselves know the 3feelings of a 4stranger, for you also were 5strangers in the land of Egypt.

10“6You shall sow your land for six years and gather in its yield, 11but on the seventh year you shall let it 7rest and lie fallow, so that the needy of your people may eat; and whatever they leave the beast of the field may eat. You are to do the same with your vineyard and your olive grove.
