10. “And for six years you are to sow your land, and shall gather its increase,
11. but the seventh year you are to let it rest, and shall leave it, and the poor of your people shall eat. And what they leave, the beasts of the field eat. Do the same with your vineyard and your oliveyard.
12. “Six days you are to do your work, and on the seventh day you rest, in order that your ox and your donkey might rest, and the son of your female servant and the sojourner be refreshed.
13. “And in all that I have said to you take heed. And make no mention of the name of other mighty ones, let it not be heard from your mouth.
14. “Three times in the year you are to observe a festival to Me:
15. “Guard the Festival of Unleavened Bread. Seven days you eat unleavened bread, as I commanded you, at the time appointed in the month of Aḇiḇ – for in it you came out of Mitsrayim – and do not appear before Me empty-handed;
16. and the Festival of the Harvest, the first-fruits of your labours which you have sown in the field; and the Festival of the Ingathering at the outgoing of the year, when you have gathered in the fruit of your labours from the field.
17. “Three times in the year all your males are to appear before the Master יהוה.
18. “Do not offer the blood of My slaughtering with leavened bread, and the fat of My offering shall not remain until morning.
19. “Bring the first of the first-fruits of your land into the House of יהוה your Elohim. Do not cook a young goat in its mother’s milk.
20. “See, I am sending a Messenger before you to guard you in the way and to bring you into the place which I have prepared.
