18 “Remember my laws and rules. Obey them and you will live safely in your country.
19 And the land will produce good crops for you. Then you will have plenty of food, and you will live safely on the land.
20 “But maybe you will say, ‘If we don’t plant seeds or gather our crops, we will not have anything to eat during the seventh year.’
21 I will order my blessing to come to you during the sixth year. The land will continue growing crops for three years.
22 When you plant in the eighth year, you will still be eating from the old crop. You will eat the old crop until the ninth year, when the crop you planted in the eighth year comes in.
23 “The land really belongs to me, so you cannot sell it permanently. You are only foreigners and travelers living on my land with me.
24 People might sell their land, but the family will always get their land back.
