10“Now 1you shall sowH2232 your landH776 for sixH8337 yearsH8141 and gatherH622 inH622 its yieldH8393, 11but in the seventhH7637 yearH7637 you shall letH8058 it 2restH8058 and lieH5203 uncultivatedH5203, so that the needyH34 of your peopleH5971 may eatH398; and whateverH3499 they leaveH3499 the animalH2421 of the fieldH7704 may eatH398. You are to doH6213 the sameH3651 with your vineyardH3754 and your oliveH2132 groveH2132.

12“3For sixH8337 daysH3117 you are to doH6213 your workH4639, but on the seventhH7637 dayH3117 you shall ceaseH7673 from labor soH4616 thatH4616 your oxH7794 and your donkeyH2543 may restH5117, and the sonH1121 of your femaleH519 slaveH519, as well as the strangerH1616 residing with you, may refreshH5314 themselves. 13Now 4concerning everythingH3605 whichH834 I have saidH559 to you, beH8104 carefulH8104; and 5do not mentionH2142 the nameH8034 of otherH312 godsH430, norH3808 let them be heardH8085 6from your mouthH6310.

And 1112noH3808 oneH3808 is to appearH7200 beforeH6440 Me empty-handedH7387. 16Also you shall keep 13the FeastH2282 of the HarvestH7105 of the firstH1061 fruitsH1061 of your laborsH4639 from whatH834 you sowH2232 in the fieldH7704; also the FeastH2282 of the IngatheringH614 at the endH3318 of the yearH8141 14when you gatherH622 inH622 the fruit of your laborsH4639 from the fieldH7704. 1715ThreeH7969 timesH6471 a yearH8141 allH3605 your malesH2138 shall appearH7200 beforeH6440 the LordH3068 16GodH3068.

18“17You shall not offerH2076 the bloodH1818 of My sacrificeH2077 with leavenedH2557 breadH2557; 18norH3808 is the fatH2459 of My 19feastH2282 to remainH3885 overnightH3885 untilH5704 morningH1242.
