6 [1] AND ‘SHABBATH HA’ARETZ’ (THE SABBATH-PRODUCE OF THE LAND) SHALL BE FOR FOOD FOR YOU. Because He said *it shall be a Sabbath of solemn rest for the Land*, He states [here] that the rest mentioned *shall be for food for you* to maintain all of you — you and your servant, and the cattle and the beast — so that you should all support yourselves from that which the land will bring forth by itself whilst it is resting. Or [it may be that] the year itself is called *shabbath ha’aretz*, just as the [seventh] day is called “the Sabbath of the Eternal,” or just “Sabbath;” and the reference thereof is to the produce of the Sabbath [year], for the Sabbath [year] itself is not something to be eaten.
