Exegesis
The verse employs a chiastic parallelism in the repetition of shesh shanim {שֵׁשׁ שָׁנִים | šēš šānîm} ‘six years’ framing two agricultural commands.
In context — Leviticus 25:3
For six years you shall sow your field , and for six years you shall prune your vineyard , and you shall gather its produce.
