Sabbath Laws

"Sow and reap your crops for six years, but let the land rest and lie fallow during the seventh year, and let the poor among the people harvest any volunteer crop that may come up; leave the rest for the animals to enjoy. The same rule applies to your vineyards and your olive groves.

"Work six days only, and rest the seventh; this is to give your oxen and donkeys a rest, as well as the people of your household--your slaves and visitors.

"Be sure to obey all of these instructions; and remember--never mention the name of any other god."
