224 - CULTIVATING THE SOIL IN THE JUBILEE YEAR
“The law of the Jubilee regarding the resting of the land and the law of the seventh year are one and the same for all purposes. Whatever is prohibited in the cultivation of the land in the seventh year is prohibited in the Jubilee Year, and whatever is permissible in the seventh year is permissible in the Jubilee Year. Work, which is punishable by whipping in the seventh year, is similarly punishable in the Jubilee Year. The law concerning fruit which grows in the Jubilee Year, as regards eating, selling, and removing it (from the house, as soon as fruit of that kind is no longer found by animals in the field) is similar in every respect to the law concerning fruit which grows in the seventh year.”*
