1 When Moses was on Mount Sinai, the Lord told him
2 to say to the community of Israel:After you enter the land that I am giving you, it must be allowed to rest one year out of every seven.
3 You may raise grain and grapes for six years,
4 but the seventh year you must let your fields and vineyards rest in honour of me, your Lord.
5 This is to be a time of complete rest for your fields and vineyards, so don't harvest anything they produce.
