Then
the
LORD
said
to
Moses on
Mount Sinai,
And
Jehovah
spake
unto
Moses in
mount Sinai, saying,
“
Speak to
the Israelites
and say to
them :
When you
enter
the land that
I am
giving
you, the land itself
must
observe
a Sabbath to
the
LORD
.
Speak unto
the children
of
Israel,
and say unto
them ,
When ye
come
into
the land which
I give
you, then
shall
the land keep
a sabbath unto
Jehovah
.
For
six years you
may
sow your
field and prune your
vineyard and gather its
crops.
Six years thou
shalt
sow thy
field ,
and six
years
thou
shalt
prune thy
vineyard ,
and gather in
the
fruits
thereof;
But in the seventh year there
shall be a Sabbath of complete
rest for the land —
a Sabbath to
the
LORD.
You
are
not
to
sow your
field or
prune your
vineyard.
but in the seventh year shall be a sabbath of solemn
rest for the land ,
a sabbath unto
Jehovah:
thou
shalt
neither
sow thy
field ,
nor
prune thy
vineyard.
You
are
not
to
reap
the
aftergrowth
of your
harvest or
gather
the grapes of your
untended
vines.
The
land
must
have
a year of complete
rest.
That
which
groweth
of itself
of
thy
harvest thou
shalt
not
reap,
and
the grapes of thy
undressed
vine
thou
shalt
not
gather:
it
shall
be
a year of solemn
rest for
the
land
.
Whatever
the
land
yields
during
the Sabbath year
shall be food for you —
for yourself
, your
manservant
and maidservant
, the
hired hand
or
foreigner
who stays
with you,
And
the sabbath of
the
land
shall be for
food for you ;
for thee
, and for
thy
servant
and
for
thy
maid
, and
for
thy
hired servant
and
for
thy
stranger,
who sojourn
with thee.
and for your
livestock
and the wild
animals
in your
land .
All its
growth
may
serve
as
food.
And for thy
cattle,
and for
the beasts
that
are
in thy
land ,
shall
all the
increase
thereof
be
for
food.
And you
shall
count
off
seven Sabbaths of years —
seven times seven years —so
that
the seven Sabbaths of years amount
to
forty -
nine years.
And thou
shalt
number
seven sabbaths of years unto
thee,
seven times seven years ;
and
there
shall
be
unto
thee
the days
of
seven sabbaths of years ,
even
forty and
nine years.
Then you
are
to
sound
the horn
far
and
wide
on the tenth day of the seventh month ,
the Day of Atonement .
You
shall sound
it
throughout your land.
Then shalt
thou
send
abroad
the loud
trumpet
on the tenth day of the seventh month ;
in
the day of atonement shall ye
send
abroad
the
trumpet
throughout all
your land.
So
you
are
to
consecrate
the fiftieth year and proclaim liberty in
the land for
all its
inhabitants .
It shall be your
Jubilee ,
when
each
of
you is
to
return to
his property
and to
his clan
.
And
ye
shall
hallow
the fiftieth year ,
and proclaim liberty throughout
the land unto
all the
inhabitants thereof:
it shall be a
jubilee unto
you ;
and
ye
shall
return every
man
unto
his possession,
and ye
shall
return
every
man
unto
his family
.
The
fiftieth year will
be a
Jubilee
for
you;
you are
not to
sow the
land
or
reap its
aftergrowth
or
harvest
the untended
vines.
A
jubilee
shall
that
fiftieth year be unto
you :
ye
shall
not sow ,
neither
reap that
which
groweth
of
itself
in
it,
nor
gather
`
the grapes'
in
it
of
the
undressed
vines.
For it is a Jubilee; it shall be holy to
you.
You may
eat only
the crops
taken
directly
from
the field.
For it is a jubilee; it shall be holy unto
you :
ye
shall
eat the increase
thereof
out
of
the field.
In this Year of Jubilee ,
each
of
you
shall return to
his own
property
.
In this year of jubilee ye
shall return every
man
unto
his possession
.
If you
make
a
sale
to
your
neighbor or a
purchase
from
him
, you
must
not take
advantage
of
each
other
.
And
if thou
sell
aught
unto
thy
neighbor ,
or buy
of
thy
neighbor's
hand
, ye
shall
not wrong
one
another
.
You
are
to
buy
from
your
neighbor
according to the number of years since
the last
Jubilee ;
he
is
to
sell
to
you
according to
the number of harvest
years remaining
.
According to the number of years after
the jubilee thou
shalt
buy
of
thy
neighbor,
`and'
according unto
the number of years of
the
crops
he
shall
sell
unto
thee
.
You
shall
increase
the
price
in
proportion
to a
greater
number
of years, or
decrease
it
in
proportion
to a
lesser
number
of years; for he
is
selling
you
a
given
number of harvests
.
According
to the
multitude
of the
years thou
shalt
increase
the
price
thereof
, and
according
to the
fewness
of the
years thou
shalt
diminish
the
price
of
it
; for the
number of the
crops
doth
he
sell
unto
thee
.
Do
not take
advantage
of
each
other,
but fear your
God ;
for I am the
LORD
your God.
And
ye
shall
not wrong
one
another;
but thou
shalt
fear thy
God :
for I am Jehovah
your God.
You
are
to
keep
My statutes and
carefully
observe
My
judgments
, so
that
you
may
dwell securely
in the land.
Wherefore
ye
shall
do
my statutes, and
keep
mine
ordinances
and
do
them;
and
ye
shall
dwell in the land in
safety
.
Then
the land will
yield its fruit, so
that
you
can
eat your fill and dwell in safety in
the
land
.
And
the land shall
yield its fruit, and
ye
shall
eat your fill ,
and dwell therein
in safety.
Now
you
may
wonder
, ‘
What will
we eat in
the seventh year if
we do
not sow or
gather our produce?’
And
if
ye
shall
say
, What shall
we eat the seventh year ?
Behold,
we shall
not sow ,
nor
gather in
our increase;
But
I will send
My blessing upon you in the sixth year, so
that
the
land
will
yield
a
crop
sufficient
for three years.
then
I will command
my blessing upon you in the sixth year, and
it
shall
bring
forth
fruit
for the
three years.
While
you
are
sowing
in
the eighth year, you
will
be
eating
from
the previous
harvest
, until the ninth year’s
harvest
comes
in.
And
ye
shall
sow
the eighth year, and
eat
of
the fruits
, the
old
store;
until the ninth year,
until
its
fruits
come
in ,
ye
shall
eat
the
old
store
.
The land must
not be sold permanently,
because
it
is Mine ,
and
you
are but
foreigners
and residents
with Me.
And
the land shall
not be sold in
perpetuity;
for
the
land
is mine :
for
ye
are strangers
and sojourners
with me.
Thus
for
every
piece
of
property
you
possess,
you
must
provide
for
the redemption
of the land.
And
in
all
the land
of your
possession
ye
shall
grant
a
redemption
for
the land.
If your
brother becomes
impoverished
and sells
some of his property
, his nearest
of
kin
may
come and redeem what
his brother has
sold.
If thy
brother be
waxed
poor,
and sell
some of his possession
, then
shall
his kinsman
that
is
next
unto
him
come ,
and shall
redeem that
which
his brother hath
sold.
Or
if a man has
no one to redeem it for
him
, but
he prospers
and acquires
enough
to redeem his
land,
And
if a man have
no one to redeem it, and
he be
waxed
rich
and find
sufficient
to redeem it;
he
shall
calculate
the years since
its
sale, repay
the balance
to
the man to whom he sold it ,
and return to
his property
.
then
let
him
reckon
the years of
the
sale thereof
, and
restore
the overplus
unto
the man to whom he sold it ;
and he
shall
return unto
his possession
.
But if he cannot
obtain
enough
to repay
him
, what
he sold will
remain in possession
of
the buyer
until the Year of Jubilee .
In the Jubilee ,
however,
it is
to
be
released
, so
that
he may
return to
his property
.
But if he be
not
able
to get
it
back
for
himself
, then
that
which
he hath
sold shall
remain in the hand
of
him
that
hath
bought
it
until the year of jubilee :
and
in the jubilee it shall
go
out
, and
he shall
return unto
his possession
.
If a man sells
a house in a walled city, he retains
his
right
of
redemption
until
a full
year after its
sale
; during
that
year it
may
be
redeemed
.
And
if a man sell
a dwelling-
house in a walled city, then
he may
redeem
it
within
a whole
year after it
is
sold
; for
a
full
year shall
he
have
the
right
of
redemption
.
If it is
not redeemed by
the end
of a full year, then the house in the walled city is
permanently
transferred
to its
buyer
and
his descendants.
It is
not to
be
released
in the Jubilee.
And
if it be
not redeemed within
the space
of a full year, then the house that
is
in the walled city shall
be
made
sure
in
perpetuity
to him
that
bought
it,
throughout
his generations:
it shall
not go
out
in the jubilee.
But houses in
villages with
no walls
around
them are
to
be considered
as
open
fields .
They may be redeemed, and they shall be
released
in the Jubilee.
But the
houses of
the
villages which
have
no wall
round
about
them shall
be reckoned
with
the
fields of
the
country:
they may be redeemed, and they shall go
out
in the jubilee.
As
for
the cities of the Levites, the Levites
always
have
the
right
to
redeem
their
houses in
the cities they
possess
.
Nevertheless
the cities of the Levites, the houses of
the cities of
their
possession,
may
the
Levites
redeem
at
any
time
.
So
whatever
belongs
to
the Levites may
be
redeemed—a
house sold in
a
city
they
possess—
and must
be
released
in the Jubilee ,
because
the houses in
the cities of the Levites are their possession among the Israelites
.
And
if
one
of
the Levites redeem,
then
the
house that
was
sold ,
and the
city
of
his
possession,
shall
go
out
in the jubilee ;
for
the houses of
the cities of the Levites are their possession among the children
of
Israel
.
But the open
pastureland
around
their cities may not be sold ,
for this
is their permanent
possession.
But the field
of
the
suburbs
of
their cities may not be sold ;
for it
is their perpetual
possession.
Now
if
your
countryman
becomes
destitute
and cannot
support
himself
among
you
, then you
are
to
help
him as you
would
a foreigner
or
stranger ,
so
that
he can
continue
to
live among
you
.
And if
thy
brother
be
waxed
poor
, and
his
hand
fail
with
thee;
then thou
shalt
uphold
him :
`
as '
a stranger and
a
sojourner
shall
he live with
thee
.
Do
not
take any
interest or
profit
from
him, but fear your
God ,
that your
countryman
may live among
you
.
Take thou
no
interest of
him or
increase
, but fear thy
God ;
that thy
brother
may live with
thee
.
You
must
not lend
him your
silver
at
interest or
sell
him your
food
for profit
.
Thou
shalt
not give
him thy
money
upon
interest ,
nor
give
him thy
victuals
for increase
.
I am the
LORD
your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt to give you the land of Canaan and to be your God.
I am Jehovah
your God, who brought you forth
out of the land of Egypt ,
to give you the land of Canaan ,
`
and '
to be your God.
If a
countryman
among
you
becomes
destitute
and sells
himself to
you,
then
you
must
not force
him into
slave
labor
.
And
if thy
brother
be
waxed
poor
with
thee,
and sell
himself unto
thee;
thou
shalt
not make
him to
serve
as
a
bond-servant
.
Let
him
stay
with
you
as a hired worker
or
temporary
resident
; he is
to
work
for
you
until
the Year of Jubilee .
As a hired servant,
and
as
a
sojourner,
he
shall
be
with
thee
; he shall
serve
with
thee
unto
the year of jubilee :
Then he and his children are
to
be
released
, and he
may
return to
his clan
and to
the property
of his fathers.
then shall
he go
out
from
thee,
he
and his children with
him
, and shall
return unto
his own
family,
and unto
the possession
of his fathers shall
he
return
.
Because
the
Israelites
are My servants, whom I brought out of the land of Egypt ,
they are
not to
be sold as slaves
.
For
they
are my servants, whom I brought forth
out of the land of Egypt :
they shall
not be sold as bondmen
.
You
are
not to
rule over them
harshly
, but you
shall
fear your
God.
Thou
shalt
not rule over him
with
rigor
, but shalt
fear thy
God.
Your
menservants
and maidservants
shall
come
from
the nations around
you, from
whom
you
may
purchase
them.
And as
for
thy
bondmen,
and
thy
bondmaids,
whom
thou
shalt
have;
of
the nations that
are
round
about
you, of
them shall
ye
buy
bondmen
and
bondmaids
.
You
may
also
purchase
them
from
the foreigners
residing
among you or
their clans
living
among
you
who
are born
in your land .
These
may
become
your property
.
Moreover
of
the children
of
the
strangers
that
sojourn
among you ,
of
them
shall
ye
buy,
and
of
their families
that
are with
you,
which
they
have
begotten
in your land :
and
they
shall
be
your possession
.
You
may
leave
them to
your sons
after you to inherit
as
property
; you
can
make
them slaves
for life.
But as
for
your brothers,
the Israelites,
no
man
may
rule harshly
over his
brother
.
And
ye
shall
make
them an
inheritance
for
your children
after you ,
to hold
for
a
possession
; of
them shall
ye
take
your
bondmen
for ever:
but over
your brethren
the children
of
Israel
ye
shall
not
rule ,
one
over another,
with
rigor
.
If a foreigner
residing
among
you
prospers
, but
your
countryman
dwelling
near
him becomes
destitute
and sells
himself to
the foreigner
or to a
member
of his
clan,
And
if a stranger
or
sojourner
with
thee
be
waxed
rich
, and
thy
brother
be
waxed
poor
beside
him ,
and sell
himself unto
the stranger
`
or '
sojourner
with
thee,
or
to the
stock
of the
stranger's
family;
he
retains
the
right
of
redemption
after he has
sold himself.
One of his brothers
may redeem him :
after that
he is
sold he
may
be
redeemed:
one of his brethren
may redeem him ;
either
his uncle or cousin
or any close
relative
from
his clan
may redeem him .
Or if he prospers
, he may redeem himself.
or
his uncle ,
or his
uncle's
son,
may
redeem
him,
or any that
is
nigh
of
kin
unto
him
of
his family
may redeem him ;
or if he be
waxed
rich
, he may redeem himself.
He
and his
purchaser
will
then
count
the
time
from the year he sold himself up
to the Year of Jubilee .
The price of his sale will
be determined
by
the number of years ,
based
on
the daily
wages
of a hired hand
.
And he
shall
reckon
with
him
that
bought
him
from the year that
he sold himself to him
unto
the year of jubilee :
and
the price of his sale shall
be according
unto
the number of years ;
according
to
the time
of a hired servant
shall
he
be
with
him
.
If many years remain
, he must
pay
for
his redemption in
proportion
to
his
purchase
price
.
If there
be
yet
many years, according
unto
them
he shall
give
back
the
price
of
his redemption out
of
the
money
that
he
was
bought
for
.
If only
a
few years remain
until
the Year of Jubilee, he is
to
calculate
and
pay
his
redemption
according to
his remaining
years.
And
if there
remain
but
few years unto
the year of jubilee, then
he shall
reckon
with
him;
according unto
his years shall
he
give
back
the
price
of
his
redemption
.
He
shall
be
treated
like
a man
hired from
year to
year ,
but
a
foreign
owner
must
not rule over him harshly
in your
sight.
As
a servant
hired year by
year shall
he
be
with
him:
he
shall
not rule with
rigor
over him in thy
sight.
Even
if he is
not redeemed in
any
of
these ways
, he and
his
children
shall be
released
in the Year of Jubilee.
And
if he be
not redeemed by
these `means'
, then
he shall go
out
in the year of jubilee ,
he,
and
his
children
with
him
.
For the Israelites
are My
servants .
They are My servants ,
whom I brought out of the land of Egypt .
I am the
LORD
your God.
For unto
me
the children
of
Israel
are servants ;
they are my servants whom I brought forth
out of the land of Egypt :
I am Jehovah
your God.
