God says that every 7 years, the land should rest, and they shouldn't plant or harvest anything. This is called the Sabbath year.
Also, every 50 years, there's a special year called the Year of Jubilee. During this year, everyone gets their land back, and people who were sold as servants get to go free.
God wants the Israelites to be fair and kind to each other. He wants them to remember that the land belongs to Him, and they're just taking care of it.
