Exodus 23:9-11
1599 Geneva Bible
9 ¶ Thou shalt not oppress a stranger: for ye know the [a]heart of a stranger, seeing ye were strangers in the land of Egypt.
10 (A)Moreover, six years thou shalt sow thy land, and gather the fruits thereof.
11 But the seventh year thou shalt let it rest and lie still, that the poor of thy people may eat, and what they leave, the beasts of the field shall eat. In like manner thou shalt do with thy vineyard, and with thine olive trees.
