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 God spoke to Moses at Mount Sinai,

2 "Speak to the People of Israel. Tell them: When you enter the land which I am going to give you, the land will observe a Sabbath to God.

3 Sow your fields, prune your vineyards, and take in your harvests for six years.

4 But the seventh year the land will take a Sabbath of complete and total rest, a Sabbath to God; you will not sow your fields or prune your vineyards.

5 Don't reap what grows of itself; don't harvest the grapes of your untended vines. The land gets a year of complete and total rest.
