Leviticus 25:10-24

¹⁰And thou shalt sanctify the fiftieth year, and shalt proclaim remission to all the inhabitants of thy land: for it is the year of jubilee. Every man shall return to his possession, and every one shall go back to his former family:

¹¹Because it is the jubilee and the fiftieth year. You shall not sow, nor reap the things that grow in the field of their own accord, neither shall you gather the firstfruits of the vines,

¹²Because of the sanctification of the jubilee: but as they grow you shall presently eat them.

¹³In the year of the jubilee all shall return to their possessions.

¹⁴When thou shalt sell any thing to thy neighbour, or shalt buy of him; grieve not thy brother: but thou shalt buy of him according to the number of years from the jubilee.

¹⁵And he shall sell to thee according to the computation of the fruits.

¹⁶The more years remain after the jubilee, the more shall the price increase: and the less time is counted, so much the less shall the purchase cost. For he shall sell to thee the time of the fruits.

¹⁷Do not afflict your countrymen, but let every one fear his God: because I am the Lord your God.

¹⁸Do my precepts, and keep my judgments, and fulfill them: that you may dwell in the land without any fear,

¹⁹And the ground may yield you its fruits, of which you may eat your fill, fearing no mall’s invasion.

²⁰But if you say: What shall we eat the seventh year, if we sow not, nor gather our fruits?

²¹I will give you my blessing the sixth year, and it shall yield the fruits of three years:

²²And the eighth year you shall sow, and shall eat of the old fruits, until the ninth year: till new grow up, you shall eat the old store.

²³The land also shall not be sold for ever: because it is mine, and you are strangers and sojourners with me.

²⁴For which cause all the country of your possession shall be under the condition of redemption.
