Musar for Chagigah 6:1
(דברי הימים א יז, כא) ומי כעמך ישראל גוי אחד בארץ
(I Chronicles 17:21) "Who is like your people Israel, a nation that is alone on the earth?"
Shenei Luchot HaBerit
The Torah here appends a summary of the שמטה legislation as a reminder of the seven-year cycle and of the various levels of sanctity inherent in the number seven. All of this is, of course, part of the mystical dimension of the Sabbath, the seventh day.
