**שֶׁלֹּא נַעֲבֹד הָאֲדָמָה בַּשָּׁנָה הַשְּׁבִיעִית** – שֶׁלֹּא נַעֲבֹד הָאֲדָמָה בַּשָּׁנָה הַשְּׁבִיעִית שֶׁהִיא נִקְרֵאת שְׁנַת הַשְּׁמִטָּה, שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר (ויקרא כה ד) וּבַשָּׁנָה הַשְּׁבִיעִית וכו' שָׂדְךָ לֹא תִזְרָע.

**Sefer HaChinukh, translated by R. Francis Nataf, Sefaria 2018:**
**That we not work the land on the seventh year:** That we not work the land on the seventh year, which is called the sabbatical (*shemittah*) year, as it is stated (Leviticus 25:4), “But on the seventh year, etc. your field you shall not sow.”

שֹׁרֶשׁ מִצְוָה זוֹ וּפְרָטֶיהָ וְכָל עִנְיָנֶיהָ כָּתוּב בְּאִם כֶּסֶף תַּלְוֶה (מצוה פד) [מצוה סו] וְקָחֶנּוּ מִשָּׁם. וְהָעוֹבֵר עַל זֶה וְעָבַד אַדְמָתוֹ בִּזְמַן הַבַּיִת בְּאַחַת מִן הָעֲבוֹדוֹת הָאֲסוּרוֹת מִדְּאוֹרַיְתָא, כְּמוֹ שֶׁאָמַרְנוּ שָׁם לוֹקֶה.

**Sefer HaChinukh, translated by R. Francis Nataf, Sefaria 2018:**
The root of this commandment, its details and all of its content is written in *Eem Kessef Talveh* (Sefer HaChinukh 84) — take it from there. And one who transgresses it and works the land at the time of the [Temple] with one of the types of work that are forbidden from Torah writ — as we [explained] over there — is lashed.
