Israel Speaks | Shmita - Sabbatical Year for the Land | Heaven TV7

If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord.

Shmita - Sabbatical Year for the Land

In the Old Testament, God commanded the Israelites to observe a Sabbatical year for the land every seven years. We visited a religious agricultural kibbutz in order to find out how this commandment is observed today.

"But in the seventh year the land is to have a year of sabbath rest, a sabbath to the Lord. Do not sow your fields or prune your vineyards. Do not reap what grows of itself or harvest the grapes of your untended vines. The land is to have a year of rest." Leviticus 25: 4-5
