5

That which groweth of its own accord of thy harvest thou shalt not reap, neither gather the grapes of thy vine undressed: for it is a year of rest unto the land.

6

And the sabbath of the land shall be meat for you; for thee, and for thy servant, and for thy maid, and for thy hired servant, and for thy stranger that sojourneth with thee,

7

And for thy cattle, and for the beast that are in thy land, shall all the increase thereof be meat.

Counter-Arguments

The strongest case that this verse does not belong in this theme.

Seventh-Day Sabbath

The verse refers to "the sabbath of the land," which is a distinct concept from the weekly Seventh-Day Sabbath. It describes the produce of the land during a sabbatical year, not the seventh day of the week.

Sabbath Commandment

The verse refers to "the sabbath of the land" and describes its produce as food, not as a command to observe a weekly day of rest. It discusses the practical benefit of the land's fallow period rather than presenting a divine injunction or law.

Land Sabbath / Rest for the Earth

This verse focuses on the provision of food from the land during its Sabbath, rather than explicitly commanding the land's rest or defining the cycles of that rest.
