Leviticus 25:3

Six years thou shalt sow thy field
Under which is comprehended everything relating to agriculture, both before and after sowing, as dunging the land, ploughing and harrowing it, treading the corn, reaping and gathering it in; see ( Exodus 23:10 ) ;

and six years thou shall prune thy vineyard, and gather in the fruit
thereof;
which is not to be restrained to vineyards only, but to be extended to oliveyards, orchards and gardens, and to the planting and cultivating of them, and gathering in the fruits of them.

Leviticus 25:3 In-Context

1 The Lord spoke to Moses on Mount Sinai and commanded him

2 to give the following regulations to the people of Israel. When you enter the land that the Lord is giving you, you shall honor the Lord by not cultivating the land every seventh year.

3 You shall plant your fields, prune your vineyards, and gather your crops for six years.

4 But the seventh year is to be a year of complete rest for the land, a year dedicated to the Lord. Do not plant your fields or prune your vineyards.

5 Do not even harvest the grain that grows by itself without being planted, and do not gather the grapes from your unpruned vines; it is a year of complete rest for the land.
