You shall not sow your field or prune your vineyard.H7637H8141H7676H7677H776H7676H3068H2232H7704H2168H37545You shall not reap what grows of itself in your harvest, or gather the grapes of your undressed vine. It shall be a year of solemn rest for the land.H5599H7105H7114H1219H6025H5139H8141H7677H7766The Sabbath of the land shall provide food for you, for yourself and for your male and female slaves and for your hired servant and the sojourner who lives with you,H7676H776H402H5650H519H7916H8453H14817and for your cattle and for the wild animals that are in your land: all its yield shall be for food.H929H2416H776H8393H3988"You shall count seven weeks of years, seven times seven years, so that the time of the seven weeks of years shall give you forty-nine years.H5608H7651H7676H8141H7651H6471H7651H8141H3117H7651H7676H8141H705H8672H81419Then 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.H7782H8643H5674H6218H7637H2320H3117H3725H7782H5674H77610And you shall consecrate the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout the land to all its inhabitants. It shall be a jubilee for you, when each of you shall return to his property and each of you shall return to his clan.H6942H2572H8141H8141H7121H1865H776H3427H3104H7725H376H272H7725H376H494011That fiftieth year shall be a jubilee for you; in it you shall neither sow nor reap what grows of itself nor gather the grapes from the undressed vines.H3104H2572H8141H8141H2232H7114H5599H1219H513912For it is a jubilee. It shall be holy to you. You may eat the produce of the field.H3104H6944H398H8393H770413"In this year of jubilee each of you shall return to his property.H8141H3104H7725H376H27214And if you make a sale to your neighbor or buy from your neighbor, you shall not wrong one another.H4376H4465H5997H7069H5997H3027H3238H376H25115You shall pay your neighbor according to the number of years after the jubilee, and he shall sell to you according to the number of years for crops.H4557H8141H310H3104H7069H5997H4557H8141H8393H437616If the years are many, you shall increase the price, and if the years are few, you shall reduce the price, for it is the number of the crops that he is selling to you.H6310H7230H8141H7235H4736H6310H4591H8141H4591H4736H4557H8393H437617You shall not wrong one another, but you shall fear your God, for I am the LORD your God.H3238H376H5997H3372H430H3068H43018"Therefore you shall do my statutes and keep my rules and perform them, and then you will dwell in the land securely.H6213H2708H8104H4941H6213H3427H776H98319The land will yield its fruit, and you will eat your fill and dwell in it securely.H776H5414H6529H398H7648H3427H98320And if you say, 'What shall we eat in the seventh year, if we may not sow or gather in our crop?'H559H398H7637H8141H2232H622H839321I will command my blessing on you in the sixth year, so that it will produce a crop sufficient for three years.H6680H1293H8345H8141H6213H8393H7969H814122When you sow in the eighth year, you will be eating some of the old crop; you shall eat the old until the ninth year, when its crop arrives.H2232H8066H8141H398H3465H8393H8671H8141H8393H935H398H346523"The land shall not be sold in perpetuity, for the land is mine. For you are strangers and sojourners with me.H776H4376H6783H776H1616H845324And in all the country you possess, you shall allow a redemption of the land.H776H272H5414H1353H77625"If your brother becomes poor and sells part of his property, then his nearest redeemer shall come and redeem what his brother has sold.H251H4134H4376H272H7138H935H1350H1350H251H446526If a man has no one to redeem it and then himself becomes prosperous and finds sufficient means to redeem it,H376H1350H3027H1767H5381H4672H135327let him calculate the years since he sold it and pay back the balance to the man to whom he sold it, and then return to his property.H2803H8141H4465H7725H5736H376H4376H7725H27228But if he has not sufficient means to recover it, then what he sold shall remain in the hand of the buyer until the year of jubilee. In the jubilee it shall be released, and he shall return to his property.H3027H1767H4672H7725H4465H3027H7069H8141H3104H3104H3318H7725H27229"If a man sells a dwelling house in a walled city, he may redeem it within a year of its sale.
