Leviticus 25:2-7

2“Give the following instructions to the people of Israel. When you have entered the land I am giving you, the land itself must observe a Sabbath rest before the Lord every seventh year.

3For six years you may plant your fields and prune your vineyards and harvest your crops,

4but during the seventh year the land must have a Sabbath year of complete rest. It is the Lord’s Sabbath. Do not plant your fields or prune your vineyards during that year.

5And don’t store away the crops that grow on their own or gather the grapes from your unpruned vines. The land must have a year of complete rest.

6But you may eat whatever the land produces on its own during its Sabbath. This applies to you, your male and female servants, your hired workers, and the temporary residents who live with you.

7Your livestock and the wild animals in your land will also be allowed to eat what the land produces.
