Leviticus 25:3 Meaning and Commentary

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 Yahweh spoke to Moses in Mount Sinai, saying,

2 Speak to the children of Israel, and tell them, When you come into the land which I give you, then shall the land keep a Sabbath to Yahweh.

3 Six years you shall sow your field, and six years you shall prune your vineyard, and gather in the fruits of it;

4 but in the seventh year shall be a Sabbath of solemn rest for the land, a Sabbath to Yahweh: you shall neither sow your field, nor prune your vineyard.

5 That which grows of itself of your harvest you shall not reap, and the grapes of your undressed vine you shall not gather: it shall be a year of solemn rest for the land.
