Leviticus 25:4-25

⁴But in the seventh year shall be a Sabbath, it shall be a rest to the land, a Sabbath to the Lord: thou shalt not sow thy field, and thou shalt not prune thy vine.

⁵And thou shalt not gather the spontaneous produce of thy field, and thou shalt not gather fully the grapes of thy dedication: it shall be a year of rest to the land.

⁶And the Sabbaths of the land shall be food for thee, and for thy manservant, and for thy maidservant, and thy hireling, and the stranger that abides with thee.

⁷And for thy cattle, and for the wild beasts that are in thy land, shall every fruit of it be for food.

⁸And thou shalt reckon to thyself seven Sabbaths of years, seven times seven years; and they shall be to thee seven weeks of years, nine and forty years.

⁹In the seventh month, on the tenth day of the month, ye shall make a proclamation with the sound of a trumpet in all your land; on the day of atonement ye shall make a proclamation with a trumpet in all your land.

¹⁰And ye shall sanctify the year, the fiftieth year, and ye shall proclaim a release upon the land to all that inhabit it; it shall be given a year of release, a jubilee for you; and each one shall depart to his possession, and ye shall go each to his family.

¹¹This is a jubilee of release, the year shall be to you the fiftieth year: ye shall not sow, nor reap the produce that comes of itself from the land, neither shall ye gather its dedicated fruits.

¹²For it is a jubilee of release; it shall be holy to you, ye shall eat its fruits off the fields.

¹³In the year of the release even the jubilee of it, shall each one return to his possession.

¹⁴And if thou shouldest sell a possession to thy neighbor, or if thou shouldest buy of thy neighbor, let not a man oppress his neighbor.

¹⁵According to the number of years after the jubilee shalt thou buy of thy neighbor, according to the number of years of the fruits shall he sell to thee.

¹⁶According as there may be a greater number of years he shall increase the value of his possession, and according as there may be a less number of years he shall lessen the value of his possession; for according to the number of his crops, so shall he sell to thee.

¹⁷Let not a man oppress his neighbor, and thou shalt fear the Lord thy God: I am the Lord thy God.

¹⁸And ye shall keep all my ordinances, and all my judgments; and do ye observe them, and ye shall keep them, and dwell securely in the land.

¹⁹And the land shall yield her increase, and ye shall eat to fullness, and shall dwell securely in it.

²⁰And if ye should say, What shall we eat in this seventh year, if we do not sow nor gather in our fruits?

²¹Then will I send my blessing upon you in the sixth year, and the land shall produce its fruits for three years.

²²And ye shall sow in the eighth year, and eat old fruits till the ninth year: until its fruit come, ye shall eat old fruits of the old.

²³And the land shall not be sold for a permanence; for the land is mine, because ye are strangers and sojourners before me.

²⁴And in every land of your possession, ye shall allow ransoms for the land.

²⁵And if thy brother who is with thee be poor, and should have sold part of his possession, and his kinsman who is nigh to him come, then he shall redeem the possession which his brother has sold.
