Leviticus 25:1 “HaShem spoke to Moses on Mount Sinai, saying: ‘Speak to the children of
Israel ad say to them: When you come into the land that I give you, the land shall observe a
Sabbath rest for HaShem.’”
Deuteronomy 8:11-17 “Beware that you do not forget the Lord your G-d by not keeping His
commandments, His judgments, and His statutes which I command you today, 12 lest—
when you have eaten and are full, and have built beautiful houses and dwell in
them;13 and when your herds and your flocks multiply, and your silver and your gold
are multiplied, and all that you have is multiplied; 14 when your heart is lifted up, and
you forget the Lord your G-d who brought you out of the land of Egypt, from the house of
bondage; 15 who led you through that great and terrible wilderness, in which were fiery
serpents and scorpions and thirsty land where there was no water; who brought water for you
out of the flinty rock; 16 who fed you in the wilderness with manna, which your fathers did
not know, that He might humble you and that He might test you, to do you good in the
end— 17 then you say in your heart, ‘My power and the might of my hand have gained me
this wealth.’”

Exodus 30:11-13a The LORD said to Moses, “When you take the census of the people of Israel, then each shall give a ransom for his life to the LORD when you number them, that there be no plague among them when you number them. Each one who is numbered in the census shall give this: half a shekel according to the shekel of the sanctuary
Exodus 30:15,16 the rich is not to give more or the poor less than the half-shekel when giving Adonai’s offering to atone for your lives. You are to take the atonement money from the people of Israel and use it for the service in the tent of meeting, so that it will be a reminder of the people of Israel before Adonai to atone for your lives.”
