25The LORD spoke to Moses on Mount Sinai, saying,H3068H1696H4872H2022H5514H559 2"Speak to the people of Israel and say to them, When you come into the land that I give you, the land shall keep a Sabbath to the LORD.H1696H1121H3478H559H935H776H5414H776H7673H7676H3068 3For six years you shall sow your field, and for six years you shall prune your vineyard and gather in its fruits,H8337H8141H2232H7704H8337H8141H2168H3754H622H8393 4but in the seventh year there shall be a Sabbath of solemn rest for the land, a Sabbath to the LORD. You shall not sow your field or prune your vineyard.H7637H8141H7676H7677H776H7676H3068H2232H7704H2168H3754 5You 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.H5599H7105H7114H1219H6025H5139H8141H7677H776 6The 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,H7676H776H402H5650H519H7916H8453H1481 7and for your cattle and for the wild animals that are in your land: all its yield shall be for food.H929H2416H776H8393H398 8"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.H5608H7651H7676H8141H7651H6471H7651H8141H3117H7651H7676H8141H705H8672H8141 9Then 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.H7782H8643H5674H6218H7637H2320H3117H3725H7782H5674H776 10And 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.H6942H2572H8141H8141H7121H1865H776H3427H3104H7725H376H272H7725H376H4940 11That 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.H3104H2572H8141H8141H2232H7114H5599H1219H5139 12For it is a jubilee. It shall be holy to you. You may eat the produce of the field.H3104H6944H398H8393H7704 13"In this year of jubilee each of you shall return to his property.H8141H3104H7725H376H272 14And if you make a sale to your neighbor or buy from your neighbor, you shall not wrong one another.H4376H4465H5997H7069H5997H3027H3238H376H251 15You 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.H4557H8141H310H3104H7069H5997H4557H8141H8393H4376 16If 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.H6310H7230H8141H7235H4736H6310H4591H8141H4591H4736H4557H8393H4376 17You shall not wrong one another, but you shall fear your God, for I am the LORD your God.H3238H376H5997H3372H430H3068H430 18"Therefore you shall do my statutes and keep my rules and perform them, and then you will dwell in the land securely.H6213H2708H8104H4941H6213H3427H776H983 19The land will yield its fruit, and you will eat your fill and dwell in it securely.H776H5414H6529H398H7648H3427H983 20And if you say, 'What shall we eat in the seventh year, if we may not sow or gather in our crop?'H559H398H7637H8141H2232H622H8393 21I will command my blessing on you in the sixth year, so that it will produce a crop sufficient for three years.H6680H1293H8345H8141H6213H8393H7969H8141 22When 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.H2232H8066H8141H398H3465H8393H8671H8141H8393H935H398H3465 23"The land shall not be sold in perpetuity, for the land is mine. For you are strangers and sojourners with me.H776H4376H6783H776H1616H8453 24And in all the country you possess, you shall allow a redemption of the land.H776H272H5414H1353H776 25"If your brother becomes poor and sells part of his property, then his nearest redeemer shall come and redeem what his brother has sold.H251H4134H4376H272H7138H935H1350H1350H251H4465 26If a man has no one to redeem it and then himself becomes prosperous and finds sufficient means to redeem it,H376H1350H3027H1767H5381H4672H1353 27let 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.H2803H8141H4465H7725H5736H376H4376H7725H272 28But 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.H3027H1767H4672H7725H4465H3027H7069H8141H3104H3104H3318H7725H272 29"If a man sells a dwelling house in a walled city, he may redeem it within a year of its sale. For a full year he shall have the right of redemption.H376H4376H4186H1004H2346H5892H1353H8552H8141H4465H3117H1353 30If it is not redeemed within a full year, then the house in the walled city shall belong in perpetuity to the buyer, throughout his generations; it shall not be released in the jubilee.H1350H4390H8549H8141H1004H2346H5892H6965H6783H7069H1755H3318H3104 31But the houses of the villages that have no wall around them shall be classified with the fields of the land. They may be redeemed, and they shall be released in the jubilee.H1004H2691H2346H5439H2803H7704H776H1353H3318H3104 32As for the cities of the Levites, the Levites may redeem at any time the houses in the cities they possess.H5892H3881H1004H5892H272H3881H1353H5769 33And if one of the Levites exercises his right of redemption, then the house that was sold in a city they possess shall be released in the jubilee. For the houses in the cities of the Levites are their possession among the people of Israel.H1350H3881H1004H4465H5892H272H3318H3104H1004H5892H3881H272H8432H1121H3478 34But the fields of pastureland belonging to their cities may not be sold, for that is their possession forever.H7704H4054H5892H4376H5769H272 35"If your brother becomes poor and cannot maintain himself with you, you shall support him as though he were a stranger and a sojourner, and he shall live with you.H251H4134H4131H3027H2388H1616H8453H2416 36Take no interest from him or profit, but fear your God, that your brother may live beside you.H3947H5392H8636H3372H430H251H2416 37You shall not lend him your money at interest, nor give him your food for profit.H5414H3701H5392H5414H400H4768 38I 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.H3068H430H3318H776H4714H5414H776H3667H430 39"If your brother becomes poor beside you and sells himself to you, you shall not make him serve as a slave:H251H4134H4376H5647H5656H5650 40he shall be with you as a hired servant and as a sojourner. He shall serve with you until the year of the jubilee.H7916H8453H5647H8141H3104 41Then he shall go out from you, he and his children with him, and go back to his own clan and return to the possession of his fathers.H3318H1121H7725H4940H272H1H7725 42For they are my servants, whom I brought out of the land of Egypt; they shall not be sold as slaves.H5650H3318H776H4714H4376H4466H5650 43You shall not rule over him ruthlessly but shall fear your God.H7287H6531H3372H430 44As for your male and female slaves whom you may have: you may buy male and female slaves from among the nations that are around you.H5650H519H1471H5439H7069H5650H519 45You may also buy from among the strangers who sojourn with you and their clans that are with you, who have been born in your land, and they may be your property.H1121H8453H1481H7069H4940H3205H776H272 46You may bequeath them to your sons after you to inherit as a possession forever. You may make slaves of them, but over your brothers the people of Israel you shall not rule, one over another ruthlessly.H5157H1121H310H3423H272H5647H5769H251H1121H3478H7287H376H251H6531 47"If a stranger or sojourner with you becomes rich, and your brother beside him becomes poor and sells himself to the stranger or sojourner with you or to a member of the stranger's clan,H1616H8453H5381H3027H251H4134H4376H1616H8453H6133H1616H4940 48then after he is sold he may be redeemed. One of his brothers may redeem him,H310H4376H1353H259H251H1350 49or his uncle or his cousin may redeem him, or a close relative from his clan may redeem him. Or if he grows rich he may redeem himself.H1730H1730H1121H1350H7607H1320H4940H1350H5381H1350H3027 50He shall calculate with his buyer from the year when he sold himself to him until the year of jubilee, and the price of his sale shall vary with the number of years. The time he was with his owner shall be rated as the time of a hired servant.H2803H7069H8141H4376H8141H3104H3701H4465H4557H8141H3117H7916 51If there are still many years left, he shall pay proportionately for his redemption some of his sale price.H7227H8141H6310H7725H1353H3701H4736 52If there remain but a few years until the year of jubilee, he shall calculate and pay for his redemption in proportion to his years of service.H7604H4592H8141H8141H3104H2803H6310H8141H7725H1353 53He shall treat him as a servant hired year by year. He shall not rule ruthlessly over him in your sight.H8141H8141H7916H7287H6531H5869 54And if he is not redeemed by these means, then he and his children with him shall be released in the year of jubilee.H1350H3318H8141H3104H1121 55For it is to me that the people of Israel are servants. They are my servants whom I brought out of the land of Egypt: I am the LORD your God.H1121H3478H5650H5650H3318H776H4714H3068H430
