Nehemías 10:31

En cuanto a los pueblos de la tierra que traigan mercancías o cualquier clase de grano para vender en el día de reposo, no compraremos de ellos en día de reposo ni en día santo; y renunciaremos a las cosechas del año séptimo y a la exigencia de toda deuda.

Asimismo, que si los pueblos de la tierra trajesen a vender mercader�as y comestibles en d�a de s�bado, nada tomar�amos de ellos en s�bado, ni en d�a santo; y que el a�o s�ptimo dejar�amos reposar la tierra, y perdonar�amos toda deuda.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And if the people of the land bring ware,.... Any thing to be sold, any sort of goods, that being sold might be taken away, as the word signifies;

or any victuals on the sabbath day to sell; anything to make food of; wheat or barley, as Aben Ezra interprets it; the same word is rendered corn, :-; to sell which was not lawful on the sabbath day, see Amos 8:5

that we would not buy it of them on the sabbath, or on the holy day; any festival, as the feast of the passover, pentecost, and tabernacles:

and that we would leave the seventh year: the ground untilled in that year, the vines unpruned, and the fruits of the earth, which sprung of themselves, for the poor to gather, Leviticus 25:4,

and the exaction of every debt; that they would not demand the payment of any debt on the seventh year, as the law required they should not,

Deuteronomy 15:2.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Bring ware ... on the sabbath day - Compare Nehemiah 13:16, where this desecration of the Sabbath is shown to have commonly taken place.

Leave the seventh year ... - i. e., “let the land rest in the sabbatical year” (margin reference) and give up the “pledge-taking” Nehemiah 10:2-10.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 31. Bring ware — We will most solemnly keep the Sabbath. Leave the seventh year-We will let the land have its Sabbath, and rest every seventh year. See on Exodus 23:10-11.
