Exegesis
The adverbial clause ken-ta’aseh {כֵּֽן־תַּעֲשֶׂ֥ה | kēn-ta-ʿă-śê} then extends the mandate in parallel to the objects lecharmekha and lezeitkha {לְכַרְמְךָ֖ וְלְזֵיתֶֽךָ | lə-ḵar-mə-ḵā wə-lə-zê-ṯə-ḵā}, applying it to vineyard and olive grove. This structure emphasizes social equity and the rhythmic nature of sabbatical agricultural law.
In context — Exodus 23:11
But in the seventh year you shall let the land rest and you shall abandon it so that the poor of your people may eat, and what remains the wild beast of the field may eat. You shall do the same for your vineyard and for your olive grove.
