Numbers 6 The Lord said, "If a man or woman wants to make a special vow, a vow of separation to the Lord, ... throughout the period of his separation, he is consecrated to the Lord." Then the Lord instructed Moses and Aaron.. "This is how you are to bless the Israelites.. 'The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face shine upon you and be gracious to you; the Lord turn his face toward you and give you peace.' So they will put my name on the Israelites, and I will bless them."

Leviticus 24-27 provides instructions regarding conversation and conduct in the promised land. Profanity is forbidden and dealt with severely, vows and freewill offerings to the Lord are to be carried out as promised. Also, rules are given regarding regular periods of rest for the land. Every seventh year there must be rest given without sowing or reaping, and every fiftieth year marks a jubilee when debts are cancelled and possessions go back to their original owners. God promises to bless in abundance the year prior to the Sabbath year and Jubilee years, just like He supplied the double portion of daily manna before each Sabbath. "These are the decrees, laws, and regulations that the Lord established on Mount Sinai between himself and the Israelites through Moses".
