Exodus 23:10-12

Modern English Version

The Laws of Sabbaths

¹⁰ You shall sow your land for six years and shall gather in its produce, ¹¹ but in the seventh year you shall let it rest and lie fallow, so that the poor of your people may eat, and what they leave the beasts of the field may eat. You shall do likewise with your vineyard and with your olive grove.

¹² For six days you are to do your work, but on the seventh day you must cease, so that your ox and your donkey may rest, and the son of your female servant and the foreigner may refresh themselves.
