At the end of seven years you will make a release. And this is the manner of the release: to release the hand of every creditor from what he lent his friend; he shall not exact from his friend or his brother, because the time of the release for the L-rd has arrived -- Deuteronomy 15:1-2
And if you should say, "What will we eat in the seventh year? We will not sow, and we will not gather in our produce!" -- Leviticus 25:20
Yet, those who put their trust in G‑d were richly rewarded:
I, [G‑d,] will command My blessing for you in the sixth year, and it will yield produce for three years. And you will sow in the eighth year, while still eating from the old crops. Until the ninth year, until the arrival of its crop, you will eat the old crop! -- Leviticus 25:21-22.
The Shemitah year is a time when all outstanding debts between Jewish debtors and creditors are waived.
