Leviticus 25:1 - Prayer Tents

25The LORD spoke to Moses on Mount Sinai, saying:H3068H1696H4872H2022H5514H559 2Speak to the people of Israel and say to them: When you enter the land that I am giving you, the land shall observe a sabbath for the LORD.H1696H1121H3478H559H935H776H5414H776H7673H7676H3068 3Six years you shall sow your field, and six years you shall prune your vineyard, and gather in their yield;H8337H8141H2232H7704H8337H8141H2168H3754H622H8393 4but in the seventh year there shall be a sabbath of complete rest for the land, a sabbath for the LORD: you shall not sow your field or prune your vineyard.H7637H8141H7676H7677H776H7676H3068H2232H7704H2168H3754 5You shall not reap the aftergrowth of your harvest or gather the grapes of your unpruned vine: it shall be a year of complete rest for the land.H5599H7105H7114H1219H6025H5139H8141H7677H776 6You may eat what the land yields during its sabbath—you, your male and female slaves, your hired and your bound laborers who live with you;H7676H776H402H5650H519H7916H8453H1481 7for your livestock also, and for the wild animals in your land all its yield shall be for food.H929H2416H776H8393H398 8You shall count off seven weeks of years, seven times seven years, so that the period of seven weeks of years gives forty-nine years.H5608H7651H7676H8141H7651H6471H7651H8141H3117H7651H7676H8141H705H8672H8141 9Then you shall have the trumpet sounded loud; on the tenth day of the seventh month—on the day of atonement—you shall have the trumpet sounded throughout all your land.H7782H8643H5674H6218H7637H2320H3117H3725H7782H5674H776 10And you shall hallow the fiftieth year and you shall proclaim liberty throughout the land to all its inhabitants. It shall be a jubilee for you: you shall return, every one of you, to your property and every one of you to your family.H6942H2572H8141H8141H7121H1865H776H3427H3104H7725H376H272H7725H376H4940 11That fiftieth year shall be a jubilee for you: you shall not sow, or reap the aftergrowth, or harvest the unpruned vines.H3104H2572H8141H8141H2232H7114H5599H1219H5139 12For it is a jubilee; it shall be holy to you: you shall eat only what the field itself produces.H3104H6944H398H8393H7704 13In this year of jubilee you shall return, every one of you, to your property.H8141H3104H7725H376H272 14When you make a sale to your neighbor or buy from your neighbor, you shall not cheat one another.H4376H4465H5997H7069H5997H3027H3238H376H251 15When you buy from your neighbor, you shall pay only for the number of years since the jubilee; the seller shall charge you only for the remaining crop years.H4557H8141H310H3104H7069H5997H4557H8141H8393H4376 16If the years are more, you shall increase the price, and if the years are fewer, you shall diminish the price; for it is a certain number of harvests that are being sold to you.H6310H7230H8141H7235H4736H6310H4591H8141H4591H4736H4557H8393H4376 17You shall not cheat one another, but you shall fear your God; for I am the LORD your God.H3238H376H5997H3372H430H3068H430 18You shall observe my statutes and faithfully keep my ordinances, so that you may live on the land securely.H6213H2708H8104H4941H6213H3427H776H983 19The land will yield its fruit, and you will eat your fill and live on it securely.H776H5414H6529H398H7648H3427H983 20Should you ask, What shall we eat in the seventh year, if we may not sow or gather in our crop?H559H398H7637H8141H2232H622H8393 21I will order my blessing for you in the sixth year, so that it will yield a crop for three years.H6680H1293H8345H8141H6213H8393H7969H8141 22When you sow in the eighth year, you will be eating from the old crop; until the ninth year, when its produce comes in, you shall eat the old.H2232H8066H8141H398H3465H8393H8671H8141H8393H935H398H3465 23The land shall not be sold in perpetuity, for the land is mine; with me you are but aliens and tenants.H776H4376H6783H776H1616H8453 24Throughout the land that you hold, you shall provide for the redemption of the land.H776H272H5414H1353H776 25If anyone of your kin falls into difficulty and sells a piece of property, then the next of kin shall come and redeem what the relative has sold.H251H4134H4376H272H7138H935H1350H1350H251H4465 26If the person has no one to redeem it, but then prospers and finds sufficient means to do so,H376H1350H3027H1767H5381H4672H1353 27the years since its sale shall be computed and the difference shall be refunded to the person to whom it was sold, and the property shall be returned.H2803H8141H4465H7725H5736H376H4376H7725H272 28But if there is not sufficient means to recover it, what was sold shall remain with the purchaser until the year of jubilee; in the jubilee it shall be released, and the property shall be returned.H3027H1767H4672H7725H4465H3027H7069H8141H3104H3104H3318H7725H272 29If anyone sells a dwelling house in a walled city, it may be redeemed until a year has elapsed since its sale; the right of redemption shall be one year.H376H4376H4186H1004H2346H5892H1353H8552H8141H4465H3117H1353 30If it is not redeemed before a full year has elapsed, a house that is in a walled city shall pass in perpetuity to the purchaser, throughout the generations; it shall not be released in the jubilee.H1350H4390H8549H8141H1004H2346H5892H6965H6783H7069H1755H3318H3104 31But houses in villages that have no walls around them shall be classed as open country; they may be redeemed, and they shall be released in the jubilee.H1004H2691H2346H5439H2803H7704H776H1353H3318H3104 32As for the cities of the Levites, the Levites shall forever have the right of redemption of the houses in the cities belonging to them.H5892H3881H1004H5892H272H3881H1353H5769 33Such property as may be redeemed from the Levites—houses sold in a city belonging to them—shall be released in the jubilee; because the houses in the cities of the Levites are their possession among the people of Israel.H1350H3881H1004H4465H5892H272H3318H3104H1004H5892H3881H272H8432H1121H3478 34But the open land around their cities may not be sold; for that is their possession for all time.H7704H4054H5892H4376H5769H272 35If any of your kin fall into difficulty and become dependent on you, you shall support them; they shall live with you as though resident aliens.H251H4134H4131H3027H2388H1616H8453H2416 36Do not take interest in advance or otherwise make a profit from them, but fear your God; let them live with you.H3947H5392H8636H3372H430H251H2416 37You shall not lend them your money at interest taken in advance, or provide them food at a profit.H5414H3701H5392H5414H400H4768 38I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, to give you the land of Canaan, to be your God.H3068H430H3318H776H4714H5414H776H3667H430 39If any who are dependent on you become so impoverished that they sell themselves to you, you shall not make them serve as slaves.H251H4134H4376H5647H5656H5650 40They shall remain with you as hired or bound laborers. They shall serve with you until the year of the jubilee.H7916H8453H5647H8141H3104 41Then they and their children with them shall be free from your authority; they shall go back to their own family and return to their ancestral property.H3318H1121H7725H4940H272H1H7725 42For they are my servants, whom I brought out of the land of Egypt; they shall not be sold as slaves are sold.H5650H3318H776H4714H4376H4466H5650 43You shall not rule over them with harshness, but shall fear your God.H7287H6531H3372H430 44As for the male and female slaves whom you may have, it is from the nations around you that you may acquire male and female slaves.H5650H519H1471H5439H7069H5650H519 45You may also acquire them from among the aliens residing with you, and from their families that are with you, who have been born in your land; and they may be your property.H1121H8453H1481H7069H4940H3205H776H272 46You may keep them as a possession for your children after you, for them to inherit as property. These you may treat as slaves, but as for your fellow Israelites, no one shall rule over the other with harshness.H5157H1121H310H3423H272H5647H5769H251H1121H3478H7287H376H251H6531 47If resident aliens among you prosper, and if any of your kin fall into difficulty with one of them and sell themselves to an alien, or to a branch of the alien's family,H1616H8453H5381H3027H251H4134H4376H1616H8453H6133H1616H4940 48after they have sold themselves they shall have the right of redemption; one of their brothers may redeem them,H310H4376H1353H259H251H1350 49or their uncle or their uncle's son may redeem them, or anyone of their family who is of their own flesh may redeem them; or if they prosper they may redeem themselves.H1730H1730H1121H1350H7607H1320H4940H1350H5381H1350H3027 50They shall compute with the purchaser the total from the year when they sold themselves to the alien until the jubilee year; the price of the sale shall be applied to the number of years: the time they were with the owner shall be rated as the time of a hired laborer.H2803H7069H8141H4376H8141H3104H3701H4465H4557H8141H3117H7916 51If many years remain, they shall pay for their redemption in proportion to the purchase price;H7227H8141H6310H7725H1353H3701H4736 52and if few years remain until the jubilee year, they shall compute thus: according to the years involved they shall make payment for their redemption.H7604H4592H8141H8141H3104H2803H6310H8141H7725H1353 53As a laborer hired by the year they shall be under the alien's authority, who shall not, however, rule with harshness over them in your sight.H8141H8141H7916H7287H6531H5869 54And if they have not been redeemed in any of these ways, they and their children with them shall go free in the jubilee year.H1350H3318H8141H3104H1121 55For to me the people of Israel are servants; they are my servants whom I brought out from the land of Egypt: I am the LORD your God.H1121H3478H5650H5650H3318H776H4714H3068H430
