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

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,

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.
