Leviticus 25:5-7
New English Translation
5 You must not gather in the aftergrowth of your harvest and you must not pick the grapes of your unpruned vines;[a] the land must have a year of complete rest. 6 You may have the Sabbath produce[b] of the land to eat—you, your male servant, your female servant, your hired worker, the resident foreigner who stays with you,[c] 7 your cattle, and the wild animals that are in your land—all its produce will be for you[d] to eat.

- Leviticus 25:5 tn Heb “consecrated, devoted, forbidden” (נָזִיר, nazir). The same term is used for the “consecration” of the “Nazirite” (and his hair, Num 6:2, 18, etc.), a designation which, in turn, derives from the very same root.
- Leviticus 25:6 tn The word “produce” is not in the Hebrew text but is implied; cf. NASB “the sabbath products.”
- Leviticus 25:6 tn A “resident who stays” would be a foreign person who was probably residing as another kind of laborer in the household of a landowner (B. A. Levine, Leviticus [JPSTC], 170-71). See v. 35 below.
- Leviticus 25:7 tn The words “for you” are implied.
