Ex. 23:10• 10And six years thou shalt sow thy land, and shalt gather in the fruits thereof: (Ex. 23:10)
• {v.10-19} Divers ordinances follow concerning the land and the feasts. (“Judgments: Exodus 21-23” by E. Dennett)
• {v.10-11} The land was to enjoy her sabbaths, in perpetual token that it belonged to the Lord. Hence it, as well as man, must share God’s rest. Here, however, the poor and the beasts of the field are prominent. There was consideration both for the one and the other—both alike, whatever the distance between, being creatures of God. The children of Israel were thus reminded that they were but tenants, and that, as holding their land as well as their vineyards and olive yards from the Lord, even the poor and the beasts of the field must be considered, since they were the objects of His care. (“Judgments: Exodus 21-23” by E. Dennett)
