Exodus 23:11-13

Good News Translation

¹¹ But in the seventh year let it rest, and do not harvest anything that grows on it. The poor may eat what grows there, and the wild animals can have what is left. Do the same with your vineyards and your olive trees.

^12 (A)“Work six days a week, but do no work on the seventh day, so that your slaves and the foreigners who work for you and even your animals can rest.

¹³ “Listen to everything that I, the Lord, have said to you. Do not pray to other gods; do not even mention their names.
