Exodus 23:10-13 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

10. For six years, you shall sow your land and gather its produce.

11. But in the seventh year, you shall release it and cause it to rest, so that the poor of your people may eat. And whatever remains, let the beasts of the field eat it. So shall you do with your vineyard and your olive grove.

12. For six days, you shall work. On the seventh day, you shall cease, so that your ox and your donkey may rest, and so that the newcomer and the son of your handmaid may be refreshed.

13. Preserve all that I have said to you. And by the names of foreign gods you shall not swear; neither shall these be heard from your mouth.
