- Leviticus 25:1-7

The verse forbids organized harvest of spontaneous growth during the land rest, while the complete unit shows that After six years of sowing, pruning, and harvest, the seventh year rests the land while spontaneous produce feeds owner, servants, hired workers, outsiders, livestock, and wildlife.
