2Speak thou to the sons of Israel, and thou shalt say to them, When ye have entered into the land which I shall give to you, the earth keep the sabbath of the Lord (or the land shall keep Sabbaths to the Lord);
3six years thou shalt sow thy field, and six years thou shalt cut thy vineyard, and thou shalt gather the fruits thereof;
4forsooth in the seventh year shall be the sabbath of the earth, of the resting of the Lord, (or but the seventh year shall be a Sabbath of rest for the land, yea, a Sabbath to the Lord); thou shalt not sow the field, and thou shalt not cut the vineyard,
5thou shalt not reap those things which the earth bringeth forth freely, and thou shalt not gather the grapes of thy first fruits, as vintage; for it is the year of resting of the land; (thou shalt not harvest those things which the land bringeth forth freely, and thou shalt not gather the grapes of thy first fruits, as vintage; for it is a year of rest for the land;)
6but those fruits shall be to you into meat, to thee, and to thy servant, and to thine handmaid, and to thine hired man, and to the comeling that is a pilgrim with thee; (but those fruits shall be food for you, yea, for thee, and for thy slave, and for thy slave-girl, and for thy hired man, and for the newcomer who is a foreigner, or a stranger, among thee;)
7all things that come forth, shall give meat to thy work beasts, and thy small beasts. (all things that come forth, shall be food for thy work beasts, and thy small beasts.)
8Also thou shalt number to thee seven weeks of years (or And thou shalt count seven Sabbaths of years to thee), that is, seven times seven, which (al)together make nine and forty years;
9and thou shalt sound with a clarion in the seventh month, in the tenth day of the month, in the time of propitiation, that is, (in the time of) mercy, in all your land. (and thou shalt sound with a trumpet in the seventh month, on the tenth day of the month, that is, on the Day of Cleansing, or the Day of Atonement, in all your land.)
10And thou shalt hallow the fiftieth year, and thou shalt call it remission, or forgiveness, to all the dwellers of thy land; for that year is the jubilee, that is, the joyful year; a man shall turn again to his possession, and each man shall go again to his first family, (And thou shalt hallow the fiftieth year, and thou shalt proclaim remission, or forgiveness, for all the inhabitants of thy land; for that is the Jubilee Year, that is, the Year of Restoration; a man shall return to his possession, and each man shall go back to his first family,)
11for it is the jubilee, and the fiftieth year (or for the fiftieth year is the Jubilee Year). Ye shall not sow, neither ye shall reap those things, that come forth freely in the field, and ye shall not gather (in) the first fruits of the vintage,
12for (it is) the hallowing of the jubilee; but anon ye shall eat things taken away; (for it is the Jubilee, and it shall be holy to you; ye shall only eat things taken from off the land;)
13in the year of jubilee, all men go again to their possessions. (and in the Jubilee Year, everyone shall return to their possessions.)
14When thou shalt sell anything to thy citizen(ry), either shalt buy of him, make thou not sorry, (or heavy), thy brother, (When thou shalt sell anything to a fellow citizen, or thou shalt buy anything from him, do not thou oppress one another,)
15but by the number of the years of the jubilee thou shalt buy of him (or but by the number of the years since the Jubilee, thou shalt buy from him), and by the reckoning of fruits, (or by the annual harvests), he shall sell to thee.
16(That is), By as much as more years dwell after the jubilee, by so much also the price shall increase, and by as much as thou numberest less of time, by so much and the buying shall cost less (or by so much the buying, or the purchasing, shall cost less); for he shall sell to thee the time of (the) fruits.
