Leviticus [Pertaining to Levites] 25:8-21

⁸“‘You shall count off seven Sabbaths of years, seven times seven years; and there shall be to you the days of seven Sabbaths of years, even forty-nine years.

⁹Then you shall sound the loud shofar ·ram horn· on the tenth day of the seventh month. On Yom-Kippur ·Day of Atonement· you shall sound the shofar ·ram horn· throughout all your land.

¹⁰You shall make the fiftieth year holy, and proclaim liberty throughout the land to all its inhabitants. It shall be a Jubilee to you; and each of you shall teshuvah ·completely return· to his own property, and each of you shall teshuvah ·completely return· to his family.

¹¹That fiftieth year shall be a Jubilee to you. In it you shall not sow, neither reap that which grows of itself, nor gather from the undressed vines.

¹²For it is a Jubilee; it shall be holy to you. You shall eat of its increase out of the field.

¹³“‘In this Jubilee Year ·Shofar Year· each of you shall teshuvah ·completely return· to his property. (LY:2)

¹⁴“‘If you sell anything to your neighbor, or buy from your neighbor, you shall not wrong one another.

¹⁵According to the number of years after the Jubilee you shall buy from your neighbor. According to the number of years of the crops he shall sell to you.

¹⁶According to the length of the years you shall increase its price, and according to the shortness of the years you shall diminish its price; for he is selling the number of the crops to you.

¹⁷You shall not wrong one another; but you shall fear your God: for I am Adonai your God.

¹⁸“‘Therefore you shall do my statutes, and keep my judgments and do them; and you shall dwell in the land in safety. (RY:2, LY:3)

¹⁹The land shall yield its fruit, and you shall eat your fill, and dwell therein in safety.

²⁰If you said, “What shall we eat the seventh year? Behold, we shall not sow, nor gather in our increase;”

²¹then I will enjoin my blessing on you in the sixth year, and it shall bear fruit for the three years.
