The "aftergrowth" refers to any crops that grow on their own from seeds that fell during the previous harvest. This practice emphasized reliance on God's provision rather than human effort. It also served as a reminder of God's ownership of the land (<a href="/leviticus/25-23.htm">Leviticus 25:23</a>) and the Israelites' role as stewards. The principle of rest and trust in God is echoed in the New Testament, where believers are encouraged to rely on God's provision (<a href="/matthew/6-25.htm">Matthew 6:25-34</a>).<p><b>or gather the grapes of your untended vines</b><br>The instruction to leave the grapes of untended vines underscores the importance of allowing the land to rest. In ancient Israel, vineyards were a significant source of sustenance and economic activity. By not tending the vines, the Israelites demonstrated obedience and trust in God's command. This practice also provided for the poor and the animals, as they were allowed to eat from what grew naturally (<a href="/exodus/23-11.htm">Exodus 23:11</a>). The concept of leaving something for others is seen in the New Testament in the teachings of generosity and care for the needy (<a href="/james/1-27.htm">James 1:27</a>).<p><b>The land must have a year of complete rest</b><br>The sabbatical year, or "Shmita," was a time of rest for the land, reflecting the Sabbath principle of rest for people. This rest was not only agricultural but also spiritual, as it was a time to focus on God and His provision. The idea of rest is a recurring theme in Scripture, pointing to the ultimate rest found in Christ (<a href="/hebrews/4-9.htm">Hebrews 4:9-10</a>). The sabbatical year also foreshadows the Jubilee year, which occurred every 50th year, where liberty was proclaimed, and debts were forgiven (<a href="/leviticus/25-10.htm">Leviticus 25:10</a>), symbolizing the freedom and redemption found in Jesus.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/m/moses.htm">Moses</a></b><br>The prophet and leader of the Israelites who received the laws from God, including the instructions in Leviticus.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/i/israelites.htm">Israelites</a></b><br>The chosen people of God to whom the laws in Leviticus were given, including the command for the Sabbath year.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/p/promised_land.htm">Promised Land</a></b><br>The land of Canaan, which the Israelites were to enter and where they were to observe the Sabbath year.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/s/sabbath_year.htm">Sabbath Year (Shemitah)</a></b><br>A year of rest for the land every seventh year, as commanded by God, to allow the land to rejuvenate.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/g/god.htm">God</a></b><br>The ultimate authority and lawgiver who commands the observance of the Sabbath year as a sign of trust and obedience.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/t/trust_in_god's_provision.htm">Trust in God's Provision</a></b><br>The command to let the land rest every seventh year required the Israelites to trust that God would provide for their needs.
