A Sabbath of rest it shall be unto you, and ye shall humble your souls. The ninth day of the month at evening, and so forth from evening to evening again, ye shall keep your Sabbath."

Six days ye shall work, and the seventh is the Sabbath of rest, a holy feast: so that ye may do no work therein, for it is the Sabbath of the LORD, wheresoever ye dwell.

"'And ye shall count from the morrow after the Sabbath: even from the day that ye brought the sheaf of the wave offering, seven weeks complete:

But the seventh year shall be a Sabbath of rest unto the land. The LORD's Sabbath it shall be, and thou shalt neither sow thy field, nor cut thy vines.

Then the land shall rejoice in her Sabbaths, as long as it lieth void and ye in your enemies' land: even then shall the land keep holy day and rejoice in her Sabbaths.
