Commentary on Harmony of the Law Volume 1 Complete John Calvin (continued)
JOHN CALVIN
4. But in the seventh year shall be a sabbath of rest unto the land, a sabbath for the LORD: thou shalt neither sow thy field, nor prune thy vineyard.
4. Septimo autem cessatio quietis erit terrae, sabbathum Jehovae: agrum tuum non seminabis, nec vineam putabis.
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.
5. Quae sponte gignet terra in messe tua non metes, et uvas possessionis tuae non vindemiabis: annus enim quietis terrae est.
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,
6. Sed erunt vobis in cibum, tibi et servo tuo, ancillae, et mercenario, et inquilino tuo qui peregrinatur apud to.
7. And for thy cattle, and for the beast that are in thy land, shall all the increase thereof be meat.
7. Jumentis quoque tuis et pecoribus terrae tuae erit cunctis ejus proventus in cibum.
20. And if ye shall say, What shall we eat the seventh year? behold, we shall not sow, nor gather in our increase:
20. Quod si dixeritis, Quid edemus anno septimo, si neque seminabimus, nec colligemus fruges nostras?
21. Then I will command my blessing upon you in the sixth year, and it shall bring forth fruit for three years.
21. Ego mandabo benedictionem meam anno sexto, et edet provenrum tribus annis.
22. And ye shall sow the eighth year, and eat yet of old fruit until the ninth year; until her fruits come in ye shall eat of the old store.
22. Seminabitis anno octavo: comedetis tamen e proventu vetere usque ad annum nonum: donec nova nascantur comedetis vetera.
