SEV Biblia, Chapter 25:6
Mas el sábado de la tierra os será para comer a ti, y a tu siervo, y a tu sierva, y a tu criado, y a tu extranjero que morare contigo;
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 6. And the sabbath of the land shall be meat for you , etc.], That is, that which grew up of itself but of the land, or on trees, vines, olives, etc. undressed, should be the meat or food on which they should live that year: and this comprehends everything that is fit for food, and also for drink, and for anointing, and even for the lighting of lamps, as in the Misnah f862 : for thee, and for thy servant, and for thy maid ; the owner of the fields and vineyards, he and his family, wife, children, and servants, might eat of the fruits of them in common with others; for whereas it is elsewhere said, ( Exodus 23:11), “that the poor of thy people may eat”, this is observed here, lest anyone should think the rich are forbid eating them, as Jarchi remarks: and for thy hired servant, and for the stranger that sojourneth with thee : which the same writer interprets of Gentiles; the food of this year was common to masters and servants, to rich and poor, to Israelites and Gentiles; all had an equal right unto, and share therein; which might be an emblem of the first times of the Gospel, in which all things were had in common, ( Acts 4:32), and typical of the communion of saints in things spiritual; in salvation by Jesus Christ, common to Jews and Gentiles, high and low, bond and free; in the free and full forgiveness of sins by his blood; and in justification by his righteousness, which is unto all, and upon all them that believe, for there is no difference; in the participation of faith, and other graces, which are alike precious, and in the enjoyment of promises, privileges, and ordinances, and even of eternal life itself.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-7 - All labour was to cease in the seventh year, as much as daily labour of the seventh day. These statues tell us to beware of covetousness, for man's life consists not in the abundance of his possessions. We are to exercise willing dependence on God's providence for our support; to consider ourselves the Lord's tenants or stewards, and to use ou possessions accordingly. This year of rest typified the spiritual res which all believers enter into through Christ. Through Him we are ease of the burden of wordly care and labour, both being sanctified an sweetened to us; and we are enabled and encouraged to live by faith.
