Role in This Section

This verse makes the land's Sabbath produce available across household and labor statuses.

Read It With

  • Leviticus 25:1-7

Start with 25:1-7 rather than Leviticus 25:6 alone. In that complete movement, this verse makes the land's Sabbath produce available across household and labor statuses. The unit's controlling claim is: 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.

Why It Needs Context

Leviticus 25:1-7 must remain the teaching frame because this verse makes the land's Sabbath produce available across household and labor statuses without completing the unit's reasoning.
