OET (OET-RV) but in the seventh year you must let the harvest drop and just leave it there and allow the poor people to eat it. Then the animals in the countryside can eat the reminder. You must also do that to your vineyards and your olive orchards.

and,the,seventh
If your language does not use ordinal numbers, you can use cardinal numbers here. Alternate translation: “But year 7”
Note 2 topic: translate-unknown
תִּשְׁמְטֶ֣נָּה וּנְטַשְׁתָּ֗הּ
let_~_rest,it and,lie_fallow,it
This means to leave the land fallow, that is, in its natural state, unplowed, unplanted, not used to grow food.
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
וְאָֽכְלוּ֙ אֶבְיֹנֵ֣י עַמֶּ֔ךָ
and,eat poor people,your
The poor can eat any food that grows on its own in a field that is not cultivated. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could express that explicitly. Alternate translation: “so the poor among your people may harvest and eat any food that grows on its own in that field”
23:10-12 Renewal, rest (23:12), and refreshment are important. Just as humans and animals are to enjoy these in the weekly Sabbath, so the land is to be given rest every seven years (23:10-11; see study note on 20:8-11).

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
