Leviticus 25:16-22

¹⁶If there will be many years before the next Year of Celebration, the price will be higher; if there will be only a few years until the next Year of Celebration, the price will be lower. You could say that what he is really selling you is the number of crops which you can harvest before the next Year of Celebration.

¹⁷Do not cheat each other; instead, revere me. I, Yahweh your God, am the one who am commanding this.

¹⁸Obey all my laws DOU carefully. If you do that, you will continue to live safely in your country DOU.

¹⁹And crops will grow well on the land, and you will have plenty to eat.

²⁰But you may ask, ‘If we do not plant or harvest our crops during the seventh year, what will we have to eat?’

²¹My answer is that I will bless you very much during the sixth/previous year, with the result that during that year there will be enough crops to provide food for you for three years!

²²Then, after you plant seed during the eighth/next year and wait for the crops to grow, you will eat the food grown in the sixth year, and continue to eat it until more food is harvested in the ninth year!
