Bible in Basic English
"But let the seventh year be a Sabbath of rest for the land, a Sabbath to the Lord; do not put seed into your land or have your vines cut."
— Leviticus 25:4, Bible in Basic English
“But in the seventh year shall be a sabbath of rest unto the land, a sabbath for the Lord: thou shalt neither sow thy field, nor prune thy vineyard.”
And the Lord said to Moses on Mount Sinai,
Say to the children of Israel, When you come into the land which I will give you, let the land keep a Sabbath to the Lord.
For six years put seed into your land, and for six years give care to your vines and get in the produce of them;
But let the seventh year be a Sabbath of rest for the land, a Sabbath to the Lord; do not put seed into your land or have your vines cut.
That which comes to growth of itself may not be cut, and the grapes of your uncared-for vines may not be taken off; let it be a year of rest for the land.
And the Sabbath of the land will give food for you and your man-servant and your woman-servant and those working for payment, and for those of another country who are living among you;
And for your cattle and the beasts on the land; all the natural increase of the land will be for food.
