As long as it lieth desolate it shall rest; because it did not rest in your sabbaths, when ye dwelt upon it.

In the enemy's land, she shall keep a sabbath, and rest in the sabbaths of her desolation, because she did not rest in your sabbaths when you dwelt therein.

All the days of the desolation it shall rest, the days in which it did not rest on your sabbaths, when ye dwelt therein.

all the days of the desolation it resteth that which it hath not rested in your sabbaths in your dwelling on it.

As long as it lies desolate it shall rest; because it did not rest in your sabbaths, when you dwelled on it.

All the days while it is waste will the land have rest, such rest as it never had in your Sabbaths, when you were living in it.

in the land of the enemy, she will worship and rest in the Sabbath of her solitude, because she will not have rested in your Sabbaths, when you lived in her.

Omnibus diebus quibus desolata fuerit, requiescet: quia non requievit in sabbathis vestris, dum habitaretis in ea.

More literally: All the days of its desolation shall it rest that time which it rested not in your Sabbaths while ye dwelt upon it. That is, the periods of rest of which the land had been deprived would be made up to it. Compare 2-Chronicles 36:20-21.

As long as it lieth desolate it shall rest; because it did not rest in your (r) sabbaths, when ye dwelt upon it.
(r) Which I commanded you to keep.

As long as it lieth desolate it shall rest,.... From tillage, neither man nor beast working upon it; for which reason such a space of time was called a sabbath:
because it did not rest in your sabbaths, when you dwelt upon it; they manured and tilled it on the seventh years, as on others, neglecting the command which God had given them; and this they did not once or twice, but many times, while they were dwellers in the land; which seems to confirm pretty much the notion of their having omitted so many years, though that cannot be affirmed with certainty; see Jarchi on the place.
