"And the sabbath of the land shall be for food for you; for thee, and for thy servant and for thy maid, and for thy hired servant and for thy stranger, who sojourn with thee." — Leviticus 25:6 (ASV)
The sabbath of the land shall be meat for you — That is, the produce of the untilled land (its “increase,”Leviticus 25:7) shall be food for the whole of you in common, rich and poor without distinction (Exodus 23:11).
