Exegesis
The verb sequence tōʾekhlû ʾet-təvûʾaṯāh {תֹּאכְלוּ אֶת־תְּבוּאָתָהּ | tō-ʾekh-lû ʾet-tə-vû-ʾā-ṯāh} is rendered by retaining the direct object marker principle in English, yielding “you will eat its produce,” which emphasizes the permission to consume what grows from the land.
In context — Leviticus 25:12
For it is a jubilee; it will be holy for you. From the field, you will eat its produce.
