2. Exodus 23: 10-11
“For six years you shall sow your land and
gather in its yield, but the seventh year you
shall let it rest and lie fallow, that the poor
of your people may eat; and what they
leave the beasts of the field may eat. You
shall do likewise with your vineyard, and
with your olive orchard.
