EXO 23:9 Also thou shalt not oppress a stranger: for ye know the heart

EXO 23:10 And six years thou shalt sow thy land, and shalt gather in

EXO 23:11 But the seventh year thou shalt let it rest and lie still;
that the poor of thy people may eat: and what they leave the beasts of
the field shall eat. In like manner thou shalt deal with thy vineyard,
