Sabbatical Year

The Concise Oxford Dictionary of World Religions | 1997 | Copyright

Sabbatical Year (Heb., shemittah). The year in which, according to Jewish law, the land lies fallow. According to Exodus 23. 10–11 and Deuteronomy 15. 1–11 on the Sabbatical Year, all agricultural work must be suspended and all debts remitted. The seventh Sabbatical Year (or possibly the year after the close of seven Sabbatical cycles) was designated the Jubilee Year.
