Context of Leviticus 25:5
3For six years you may sow your field and for six years you may prune your vineyard and gather in its fruits. 4But in the seventh year there is to be a Shabbat rest for the land—a Shabbat to Adonai. You are not to sow your field or prune your vineyard. You are not to reap what grows by itself during your harvest nor gather the grapes of your untended vine. It is to be a year of Shabbat rest for the land. 6Whatever the Shabbat of the land produces will be food for yourself, for your servant, for your maidservant, for your hired worker and for the outsider dwelling among you. 7Even for your livestock and for the animals that are in your land—all its increase will be enough food.
