Leviticus 25:3-34

³Six years thou shalt sow thy field, and six years prune thy vineyard, and gather in its fruit;

⁴But in the seventh year the land shall have a respite of rest (neach shemittha), a respite before the Lord; thou shalt not sow thy field nor prune thy vineyard.

⁵The after crop of thy harvest thou shalt not reap, neither make vintage of the grapes which thou mayest have left, it shall be a year of remission to the land.

⁶Yet the remission of the land shall be to thee for food, to thee, and to thy servant, and to thy handmaid, and to thy hireling, and to the sojourner who dwelleth with thee.

⁷And for thy cattle, and for the beasts that are in thy land, shall all the produce of it be for meat.

⁸And number to thee seven (such) years of Release, beast shall make it good And number to thee seven (such) years of Release, which are seven times seven years; and the days of the seven years of release shall be to thee (in all) forty and nine years.

⁹And thou shalt make the sound of the trumpet to pass forth, in the seventh month on the tenth of the month, on the day of the expiations shall you make (the sound of) the trumpet to pass through all your land.

¹⁰And you shall sanctify the year of the fifty years, and proclaim liberty in all the land to all its inhabitants; it is and it shall be a jubilee to you; and each man shall return to his inheritance, and each to his family shall return.

¹¹A jubilee shall that year of fifty years be to you. Ye shall not sow nor reap the after crop, nor make vintage of the remainder,

¹²for it is a jubilee; it shall be sacred to you; of the growth of the field you may eat.

¹³In the year of this jubilee a man shall return to his inheritance.

¹⁴And when thou sellest a sale to thy neighbour, or buyest of thy neighbour’s hand, you shall not impose, a man upon his brother.

¹⁵For the number of the years after the (last) jubilee thou shalt buy of thy neighbour; for the number of the years of the produce he shall sell to thee:

¹⁶According to the multitude of the years thou shalt increase the price, and according to the fewness of the years thou shalt diminish the price; for he selleth thee the amount of the fruits.

¹⁷And you shall not impose, a man upon his neighbour; but thou shalt fear thy God, for I am the Lord your God.

¹⁸And you shall perform My statutes, and keep My judgments, and do them, and dwell in the land in security.

¹⁹And the land shall yield her fruitage, and you shall eat unto the full, and dwell upon it in security.

²⁰And if you say, What shall we eat in the seventh year; behold, we are not to sow, nor to gather in our fruit?

²¹I will command My benediction upon you in the sixth year, and it shall produce for three years.

²²And you shall sow in the eighth year, and eat of the old produce unto the ninth year: until the fruit come in, you shall eat of the old.

²³But you may not sell the ground absolutely: for the land is Mine, for you are guests and sojourners before Me;

²⁴And in all the land of your inheritance you shall let the ground have redemption.

²⁵When thy brother hath become poor, and shall have sold his possession, his redeemer who is of kin to him may come and release that which his kinsman has sold.

²⁶And if he have no one to release it, and it pertaineth to his hand to find sufficient means for its redemption;

²⁷Then let him reckon the years of its sale, and restore the full amount to the man who bought it, that he may return to his possession.

²⁸But if his hand find not sufficiency to give him, the (property) sold shall be in the hand of the buyer until the year of Jubilee, and shall go out in the Jubilee, and return to his possession.

²⁹And if a man sell a dwelling house in a town surrounded with a wall, he may redeem it within the full year of the sale of it; within that time shall be its redemption.

³⁰But if it be not repurchased when the whole year is completed, the house that is in the walled town shall belong absolutely to him who bought it for his generations; it shall not go out at the Jubilee.

³¹But the houses of the villages which have no wall round about them shall be accounted as the field of the land; they may be redeemed, or shall go out at the Jubilee.

³²And the cities of the Levites, the houses of the cities of their inheritance, may be always redeemed by the Levites (or, be a perpetual redemption for the Levites).

³³And (so of him) who purchaseth of the Levites, the purchased house in the city of their possession shall go out at the Jubilee; for the houses of the cities of the Levites are their inheritance among the sons of Israel.

³⁴But a field in the suburbs of their cities may not be sold; for it is an everlasting possession for them.
