Exodus 23:11-13

Living Bible

¹¹ but let the land rest and lie fallow during the seventh year, and let the poor among the people harvest any volunteer crop that may come up; leave the rest for the animals to enjoy. The same rule applies to your vineyards and your olive groves.

¹² “Work six days only, and rest the seventh; this is to give your oxen and donkeys a rest, as well as the people of your household—your slaves and visitors.

¹³ “Be sure to obey all of these instructions; and remember—never mention the name of any other god.^[a]
