  4. 10And six years thou shalt sow thy land, and shalt gather in the increase thereof:
  5. 11but the seventh year thou shalt let it rest and lie fallow; that the poor of thy people may eat: and what they leave the beast of the field shall eat. In like manner thou shalt deal with thy vineyard, and with thy oliveyard.
