In like maner thou shalt deale with thy vineyard, and with thy oliue yard. 12Sixe dayes thou shalt doe thy worke, and on the seuenth day thou shalt rest: that thine oxe and thine asse may rest, and the sonne of thy handmayd, & the stranger may be refreshed. 13And in all things that I haue said vnto you, be circumspect: and make no mention of the names of other gods, neither let it be heard out of thy mouth. 14¶ Three times thou shalt keepe a feast vnto me in the yeere.
