Let this be a Sabbath of special rest to you, and keep yourselves from all pleasure; on the ninth day of the month at nightfall from evening to evening, let this Sabbath be kept.

But let the seventh year be a Sabbath of rest for the land, a Sabbath to the Lord; do not put seed into your land or have your vines cut.

On six days work may be done; but the seventh day is a special day of rest, a time for worship; you may do no sort of work: it is a Sabbath to the Lord wherever you may be living.

All the days while it is waste will the land have rest, such rest as it never had in your Sabbaths, when you were living in it.

Then will the land take pleasure in its Sabbaths while it is waste and you are living in the land of your haters; then will the land have rest.
