Harvest

“Six days you shall labor, but on the seventh day you shall rest; even in the seasons of plowing and harvesting, you must rest.”

“In those days I saw people in Judah treading winepresses on the Sabbath and bringing in grain and loading it on donkeys, along with wine, grapes, and figs. All kinds of goods were being brought into Jerusalem on the Sabbath day. So I warned them against selling food on that day.”

“And you are to celebrate the Feast of Weeks with the firstfruits of the wheat harvest, and the Feast of Ingathering at the turn of the year.”

“From the day after the Sabbath, the day you brought the sheaf of the wave offering, you are to count off seven full weeks.”

“Your threshing will continue until the grape harvest, and the grape harvest will continue until sowing time; you will have your fill of food to eat and will dwell securely in your land.”

“(Now the flax and barley were destroyed, since the barley was ripe and the flax was in bloom;”

“but the wheat and spelt were not destroyed, because they are late crops.)”

“And after they had gone out into the fields, gathered grapes from their vineyards, and trodden them, they held a festival and went into the house of their god; and as they ate and drank, they cursed Abimelech.”
