“Graciousness, courtesy, compassion-this is hesed. Hesed is a quality that extends even to the animals and the land. The sabbath rest principle of Hebrew law included the needs of the livestock (Exod. 23:12). After seven years of planting and harvesting, the land itself needed "a year of complete rest" (Lev. 25:5). Even the soil of the vineyards was not to be overtaxed by planting other crops between the rows (Deut. 22:9). The oxen that trod out the grain were not to be muzzled so that they could eat while they worked (Deut. 25:4). And so on.” NeedsYearsLawAnimalQualityCompassionPrinciplesLandNeededEnvironmentalSevenSoilSustainabilityGrainSeven YearsCourtesyCropsHebrewSabbathVineyardsGraciousnessLivestockOxen Author:Richard J.
