And the Lord spake unto Moses in Mount Sinai
Not when Moses was with the Lord on that mount forty days, but after he came down from thence, even after the tabernacle was set up, while the children of Israel where encamped about that mountain, and before they took their journey from thence; for they continued some time in the wilderness of Sinai, and here it was the Lord spoke to Moses; for the words may be rendered "by" or "near Mount Sinai" ^F7; and so Josephus

Leviticus 25:1 In-Context

1 The LORD spoke to Moses on Mount Sinai,

2 "Tell the Israelites: When you come into the land I'm giving you, the land will celebrate a year to honor the LORD.

3 Then, for six years you may plant crops in your fields, prune your vineyards, and gather what they produce.

4 However, the seventh year will be a festival year for the land. It will be a year to honor the LORD. Don't plant crops in your fields or prune your vineyards.

5 Don't harvest what grows by itself or harvest grapes from your vines. That year will be a festival for the land.
