Contextual Overview
10 And six years you shall sow your land, and shall gather in the increase thereof: 11 but the seventh year you shall let it rest and lie fallow; that the poor of your people may eat: and what they leave the beast of the field shall eat. In like manner you shall deal with your vineyard, [and] with your oliveyard. 12 Six days you shall do your work, and on the seventh day you shall rest; that your ox and your donkey may have rest, and the son of your female slave, and the sojourner, may be refreshed. 13 And in all things that I have said to you you take heed: and make no mention of the name of other gods, neither let it be heard out of your mouth. 14 Three times you shall keep a feast to me in the year. 15 The feast of unleavened bread you shall keep: seven days you shall eat unleavened bread, as I commanded you, at the time appointed in the month Abib (for in it you came out from Egypt); and no one shall appear before me empty: 16 and the feast of harvest, the first fruits of your labors, which you sow in the field: and the feast of ingathering, at the end of the year, when you gather in your labors out of the field. 17 Three times in the year all your males shall appear before the Lord Yahweh. 18 You shall not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leavened bread; neither shall the fat of my feast remain all night until the morning. 19 The first of the first fruits of your ground you shall bring into the house of Yahweh your God. You shall not boil a young goat in it mother's milk.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And six years thou shall sow thy land, The land of Canaan, given to their ancestors and to them, and which they were now going to inherit; and when they came into it they were to plant it with vines and olives; or rather, these being ready planted, they were to prune and dress them; and they were to till their land, and plough it, and sow it with various sorts of grain, for six years running, from the time of their possession of it:
and shall gather in the fruits thereof; corn and wine, and oil, into their own garners, treasuries, and cellars, as their own property, to dispose of as they pleased for their own use and profit.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
This is the first mention of the Sabbatical year; the law for it is given at length in Leviticus 25:2. Both the Sabbatical year and the weekly Sabbath are here spoken of exclusively in their relation to the poor, as bearing testimony to the equality of the people in their covenant with Yahweh. In the first of these institutions, the proprietor of the soil gave up his rights for the year to the whole community of living creatures, not excepting the beasts: in the latter, the master gave up his claim for the day to the services of his servants and cattle.
Exodus 23:12
May be refreshed - Literally, âmay take breath.â
