6. Again, Rabbi Elazar commenced: "If you buy a Hebrew servant, six years he shall serve..." (Shemot 21:2) as every son of Yisrael who is circumcised possesses a holy mark, has rest on the Sabbatical Year. This Sabbatical Year is his, DENOTING MALCHUT; it is his to rest in it. It is referred to as the Shabbat of the land, and surely contains freedom FROM THE KLIPOT. In it, there is rest FROM JUDGMENTS; just as Shabbat is rest for all, so the Sabbatical Year is total rest - rest for the spirit and body. THEREFORE, IT IS WRITTEN, "SIX YEARS HE SHALL SERVE: AND IN THE SEVENTH HE SHALL GO OUT FREE."
6. תּוּ פָּתַח רִבִּי אֶלְעָזָר, כִּי תִקְנֶה עֶבֶד עִבְרִי שֵׁשׁ שָׁנִים יַעֲבוֹד וְגוֹ.' בְּגִין דְּכָל בַּר יִשְׂרָאֵל דְּאִתְגְּזַר, דְּאִית בֵּיהּ רְשִׁימָא קַדִּישָׁא, אִית לֵיהּ נַיְיחָא בִּשְׁמִטָּה. דְּהָא דִּילֵיהּ הוּא הַהוּא שְׁמִטָּה, לְנַיְיחָא בֵּיהּ. וְדָא אִקְרֵי שַׁבַּת הָאָרֶץ, וַדַּאי חֵירוּ אִית בָּהּ. נַיְיחָא בָּהּ, כְּמָה דְּשַׁבָּת נַיְיחָא הוּא דְּכֹלָּא, הָכִי נָמֵי שְׁמִטָּה נַיְיחָא דְּכֹלָּא, נַיְיחָא הוּא דְּרוּחָא וְגוּפָא.
