Leviticus 25:3 In-Context

1 The Lord said to Moses at Mount Sinai,

2 "Tell the people of Israel this: 'When you enter the land I will give you, let it have a special time of rest, to honor the Lord.

3 You may plant seed in your field for six years, and you may trim your vineyards for six years and bring in their fruits.

4 But during the seventh year, you must let the land rest. This will be a special time to honor the Lord. You must not plant seed in your field or trim your vineyards.

5 You must not cut the crops that grow by themselves after harvest, or gather the grapes from your vines that are not trimmed. The land will have a year of rest.
