Graphic Bible · Scene 6 of 13

A sixth-year harvest fills exactly three storage rooms, sustaining families through the resting seventh year, the sowing eighth, and into the ninth-year crop. One resting field, one newly sown field, and one ripening field recede across the landscape. No labels, hoarding from poor, famine, modern silo, or visible deity.

18So you shall carry out my statutes and keep my judgments, and do them, and you shall dwell in the land securely.

19The land will yield its fruit, and you will eat your fill and live securely on it.

20And if you say, ‘What will we eat in the seventh year, since we will not sow or gather our produce?’

21Then I will command my blessing for you in the sixth year, and it will produce the yield for three years.

22And you shall sow in the eighth year and eat from the old produce until the ninth year; until its produce comes in, you shall eat the old.
