Exodus 23:10-12

New Century Version

Laws for the Sabbath

¹⁰ “For six years you are to plant and harvest crops on your land. ¹¹ Then during the seventh year, do not plow or plant your land. If any food grows there, allow the poor people to have it, and let the wild animals eat what is left. You should do the same with your vineyards and your orchards of olive trees.

¹² “You should work six days a week, but on the seventh day you must rest. This lets your ox and your donkey rest, and it also lets the slave born in your house and the foreigner be refreshed.
