Then
the
LORD
said to Moses on
Mount Sinai,
Yahweh
said to Moses in
Mount Sinai,
“
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 to the children
of
Israel,
and tell
them ,
'
When you come
into
the land which
I give
you, then
the land shall
keep
a Sabbath to Yahweh
.
For
six years you may
sow your field and prune your vineyard and gather its crops.
Six years you shall
sow your field ,
and six
years
you
shall
prune your vineyard ,
and gather in
its fruits;
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 there shall be a Sabbath of solemn
rest for the land ,
a Sabbath to Yahweh
. You shall
not sow your field or prune your 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.
What
grows
of itself
in
your harvest you
shall
not
reap,
and
the grapes of your undressed
vine
you
shall
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 ,
The Sabbath of
the
land
shall be for
food for you ;
for yourself, for
your servant
, for
your
maid,
for
your
hired servant,
and
for
your
stranger,
who lives
as
a
foreigner
with you .
and
for your livestock
and the wild
animals in your land .
All its
growth
may
serve
as
food.
For your cattle
also,
and for
the animals that
are
in your land ,
shall
all the
increase
of
it
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.
"'
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.
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 you shall
sound the loud
trumpet
on the tenth day of the seventh month .
On
the Day of Atonement you shall sound 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
.
You 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
return to his own
property ,
and each
of
you
shall
return
to 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.
That
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.
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 to you. You shall
eat of
its
increase
out
of
the field.
In this Year of Jubilee ,
each of you shall return to his own
property.
"'
In this Year of Jubilee each of you shall return to his property.
If you make
a
sale
to your neighbor or a
purchase
from him
, you must
not take
advantage
of
each
other
.
"'
If you sell
anything
to your neighbor ,
or buy
from your
neighbor
, you 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
you
shall
buy from your neighbor .
According to the number of years of
the crops
he shall
sell to you.
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
length
of
the
years
you shall increase the price of it ,
and
according
to the
shortness
of the
years you
shall
diminish
the
price
of
it
; for he is selling the
number of the
crops
to
you
.
Do
not take
advantage
of
each
other,
but fear your God ;
for I am the
LORD
your God.
You
shall
not wrong
one
another;
but you
shall
fear your God :
for I am Yahweh
your God.
You are
to
keep
My statutes and carefully
observe
My judgments,
so
that
you may
dwell securely
in the land.
"'Therefore
you shall
do
my statutes ,
and keep
my ordinances
and
do
them;
and
you 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
.
The land shall
yield its fruit, and
you 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?’
If
you said
, "
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 on
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.
You shall
sow
the eighth year, and
eat
of
the fruits
, the
old
store;
until the ninth year,
until
its
fruits
come
in ,
you
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.
"'
The land shall
not be sold in
perpetuity
, for
the
land
is mine ;
for
you are strangers
and live
as
foreigners
with me.
Thus
for
every
piece
of property
you
possess,
you must
provide
for
the
redemption of
the land.
In
all
the
land
of your
possession
you 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 your brother becomes poor,
and sells some of his possessions
, then
his kinsman
who
is
next
to
him
shall
come ,
and redeem that
which
his brother has sold.
Or
if a man has no one to redeem it for
him
, but
he prospers
and acquires
enough
to redeem his
land,
If a man has no one to redeem it, and
he becomes
prosperous
and finds
sufficient
means
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 since the
sale of
it
, and
restore
the surplus
to the man to whom he sold it ;
and he
shall
return to his property.
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 isn't
able
to get
it
back
for
himself
, then
what he has
sold shall
remain in the hand
of
him
who
has
bought
it
until the Year of Jubilee :
and
in the Jubilee it shall
be released, and
he shall
return to his propery
.
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
.
"'
If a man sells a dwelling
house in a walled city, then
he may
redeem
it
within
a whole
year after it has
been
sold
. For
a
full
year
he
shall
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.
If it isn't
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
who
bought
it,
throughout
his generations
. It shall
not be released 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 be released 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 in the cities of
their
possession,
the
Levites
may
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
.
The Levites may redeem
the
house that
was
sold ,
and
the
city of
his
possession,
and it
shall
be released 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.
"'
If your brother
has
become
poor,
and his
hand
can't
support him
among you ;
then you shall
uphold
him .
As a stranger and
a
sojourner
he shall
live with
you.
Do
not
take any
interest or
profit
from him, but fear your God ,
that your countryman
may live among you.
Take no
interest from him or
profit
, but fear your God ;
that your brother
may live among you.
You must
not lend him your silver
at interest or
sell
him your food for profit.
You shall
not lend him your money
at interest ,
nor
give
him your food for profit.
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 Yahweh
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
.
"'
If your
brother
has
grown
poor
among you ,
and sells himself to you ;
you shall
not make
him to
serve
as
a
slave.
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
you
; he shall
serve
with
you until 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 he shall
go
out
from
you,
he
and his children with
him
, and shall
return to his own
family,
and to the possession
of his fathers.
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 slaves.
You are
not to
rule over them
harshly
, but you
shall fear your God.
You shall
not rule over him
with
harshness
, but shall fear your God.
Your menservants
and maidservants
shall
come
from
the nations around you, from whom
you may purchase
them
.
"'As
for
your male
and your
female
slaves,
whom
you
may
have;
of
the nations that
are
around you, from them
you may buy
male
and
female
slaves
.
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
who
sojourn
among you ,
of
them
you may
buy,
and
of
their
families
who are with
you,
which
they
have
conceived
in your land ;
and
they
will
be
your property.
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
.
You may make
them an
inheritance
for
your children
after you ,
to hold
for
a
possession
; of
them may
you
take
your
slaves forever:
but over
your brothers the children
of
Israel
you
shall
not
rule ,
one
over another,
with
harshness
.
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,
"'
If a stranger
or
sojourner
with
you becomes
rich
, and
your brother
beside
him has
grown
poor,
and sells himself to the stranger
or
foreigner living
among
you,
or to a member of the
stranger's
family;
he
retains
the
right
of
redemption
after he has
sold himself
. One of his brothers may redeem him :
after he is
sold he
may
be
redeemed
. One of his brothers 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 who
is
a
close relative to
him
of
his family
may redeem him ;
or if he has
grown
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
.
He shall
reckon
with
him
who
bought
him
from the year that
he sold himself to him
to
the Year of Jubilee :
and
the price of his sale shall
be according
to
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
are
yet
many years, according
to
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.
If there
remain
but
a few years to
the year of jubilee, then
he shall
reckon
with
him;
according to his years of
service
he
shall
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
harshness
over him in your sight.
Even
if he is
not
redeemed in
any
of
these ways
, he and
his
children
shall be released in the Year of Jubilee.
"'
If he isn't
redeemed by
these means
, then
he shall be released 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 to
me
the children
of
Israel
are servants ;
they are my servants whom I brought forth
out of the land of Egypt. I am Yahweh
your God.
