and thus God blessed the sixth year with such a plentiful increase as was sufficient for time to come, until a new crop was gathered in; as he had blessed the sixth day with a double portion of manna, for the supply of the seventh.

21 (For an answer,) I shall give my blessing to you in the sixth year, and it shall make [the] fruits of three years;
22 and ye shall sow in the eighth year, and ye shall eat eld fruits till to the ninth year; (yea,) till new things come forth, ye shall eat the eld things.
23 Also the land shall not be sold into without end, for it is mine, and ye be my comelings, and [my] tenants;
