Exodus 23:10-12

New Catholic Bible

¹⁰ “For six years you shall sow the land and you shall harvest its produce, ¹¹ but in the seventh year you shall let it rest and lie fallow so that the needy of your people may eat of it. Whatever is left, let the beasts of the field eat it. You shall do likewise with your vineyards and your olive groves. ¹² For six days you shall do your work, but on the seventh day you shall rest so that your ox and your donkey may rest, as well as the sons of your female slaves and your sojourners.
