Holman Christian Standard Bible Help
25The LORD spoke to Moses on Mount Sinai:H3068H1696H4872H2022H5514H559
2"Speak to the Israelites and tell them: When you enter the land I am giving you, the land will observe a Sabbath to the LORD.H1696H1121H3478H559H935H776H5414H776H7673H7676H3068
3You may sow your field for six years, and you may prune your vineyard and gather its produce for six years.H8337H8141H2232H7704H8337H8141H2168H3754H622H8393
4But there will be a Sabbath of complete rest for the land in the seventh year, a Sabbath to the LORD: you are not to sow your field or prune your vineyard.H7637H8141H7676H7677H776H7676H3068H2232H7704H2168H3754
5You are not to reap what grows by itself from your crop, or harvest the grapes of your untended vines. It must be a year of complete rest for the land.H5599H7105H7114H1219H6025H5139H8141H7677H776
6[Whatever] the land [produces during] the Sabbath year can be food for you; for yourself, your male or female slave, and the hired hand or foreigner who stays with you.H7676H776H402H5650H519H7916H8453H1481
7All of its growth may serve as food for your livestock and the wild animals in your land.H929H2416H776H8393H398
8"You are to count seven sabbatic years, seven times seven years, so that the time period of the seven sabbatic years amounts to 49.H5608H7651H7676H8141H7651H6471H7651H8141H3117H7651H7676H8141H705H8672H8141
9Then you are to sound a trumpet loudly in the seventh month, on the tenth [day] of the month; you will sound it throughout your land on the Day of Atonement.H7782H8643H5674H6218H7637H2320H3117H3725H7782H5674H776
10You are to consecrate the fiftieth year and proclaim freedom in the land for all its inhabitants. It will be your Jubilee, when each of you are to return to his property and each of you to his clan.H6942H2572H8141H8141H7121H1865H776H3427H3104H7725H376H272H7725H376H4940
11The fiftieth year will be your Jubilee; you are not to sow, reap what grows by itself, or harvest its untended vines.H3104H2572H8141H8141H2232H7114H5599H1219H5139
12It is to be holy to you because it is the Jubilee; you may [only] eat its produce [directly] from the field.H3104H6944H398H8393H7704
13"In this Year of Jubilee, each of you will return to his property.H8141H3104H7725H376H272
14If you make a sale to your neighbor or a purchase from him, do not cheat one another.H4376H4465H5997H7069H5997H3027H3238H376H251
15You are to make the purchase from your neighbor based on the number of years since the last Jubilee. He is to sell to you based on the number of [remaining] harvest years.H4557H8141H310H3104H7069H5997H4557H8141H8393H4376
16You are to increase its price in proportion to a greater amount of years, and decrease its price in proportion to a lesser amount of years, because what he is selling to you is a number of harvests.H6310H7230H8141H7235H4736H6310H4591H8141H4591H4736H4557H8393H4376
17You are not to cheat one another, but fear your God, for I am the LORD your God.H3238H376H5997H3372H430H3068H430
18"You are to observe My statutes and ordinances and carefully observe them, so that you may live securely in the land.H6213H2708H8104H4941H6213H3427H776H983
19Then the land will yield its fruit, so that you can eat, be satisfied, and live securely in the land.H776H5414H6529H398H7648H3427H983
20If you wonder: 'What will we eat in the seventh year if we don't sow or gather our produce?'H559H398H7637H8141H2232H622H8393
21I will appoint My blessing for 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 from the previous harvest. You will be eating this until the ninth year when its harvest comes in.H2232H8066H8141H398H3465H8393H8671H8141H8393H935H398H3465
23"The land is not to be permanently sold because it is Mine, and you are only foreigners and temporary residents on My land.H776H4376H6783H776H1616H8453
24You are to allow the redemption of any land you occupy.H776H272H5414H1353H776
25If your brother becomes destitute and sells part of his property, his nearest relative may come and redeem what his brother has sold.H251H4134H4376H272H7138H935H1350H1350H251H4465
26If a man has no family redeemer, but he prospers and obtains enough to redeem his land,H376H1350H3027H1767H5381H4672H1353
27he may calculate the years since its sale, repay the balance to the man he sold it to, and return to his property.H2803H8141H4465H7725H5736H376H4376H7725H272
28But if he cannot obtain enough to repay him, what he sold will remain in the possession of its purchaser until the Year of Jubilee. It is to be released at the Jubilee, so that he may return to his property.H3027H1767H4672H7725H4465H3027H7069H8141H3104H3104H3318H7725H272
29"If a man sells a residence in a walled city, his right of redemption will last until a year has passed after its sale; his right of redemption will last a year.H376H4376H4186H1004H2346H5892H1353H8552H8141H4465H3117H1353
30If it is not redeemed by the end of a full year, then the house in the walled city is permanently transferred to its purchaser throughout his generations. It is not to be released on the Jubilee.H1350H4390H8549H8141H1004H2346H5892H6965H6783H7069H1755H3318H3104
31But houses in villages that have no walls around them are to be classified as open fields. The right to redeem [such] houses stays in effect, and they are to be released at the Jubilee.H1004H2691H2346H5439H2803H7704H776H1353H3318H3104
32"Concerning the Levitical cities, the Levites always have the right to redeem houses in the cities they possess.H5892H3881H1004H5892H272H3881H1353H5769
33Whatever [property] one of the Levites can redeem— a house sold in a city they possess— must be released at the Jubilee, because the houses in the Levitical cities are their possession among the Israelites.H1350H3881H1004H4465H5892H272H3318H3104H1004H5892H3881H272H8432H1121H3478
34The open pastureland around their cities may not be sold, for it is their permanent possession.H7704H4054H5892H4376H5769H272
35"If your brother becomes destitute and cannot sustain himself among you, you are to support him as a foreigner or temporary resident, so that he can continue to live among you.H251H4134H4131H3027H2388H1616H8453H2416
36Do not profit or take interest from him, but fear your God and let your brother live among you.H3947H5392H8636H3372H430H251H2416
37You are not to lend him your silver with interest or sell [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 among you becomes destitute and sells himself to you, you must not force him to do slave labor.H251H4134H4376H5647H5656H5650
40Let him stay with you as a hired hand or temporary resident; he may work for you until the Year of Jubilee.H7916H8453H5647H8141H3104
41Then he and his children are to be released from you, and he may return to his clan and his ancestral property.H3318H1121H7725H4940H272H1H7725
42They are not to be sold as slaves, because they are My slaves I brought out of the land of Egypt.H5650H3318H776H4714H4376H4466H5650
43You are not to rule over them harshly but fear your God.H7287H6531H3372H430
44Your male and female slaves are to be from the nations around you; you may purchase male and female slaves.H5650H519H1471H5439H7069H5650H519
45You may also purchase them from the foreigners staying with you, or from their families living among you— those born in your land. These may become your property.H1121H8453H1481H7069H4940H3205H776H272
46You may leave them to your sons after you to inherit as property; you can make them slaves for life. But concerning your brothers, the Israelites, you must not rule over one another harshly.H5157H1121H310H3423H272H5647H5769H251H1121H3478H7287H376H251H6531
47"If a foreigner or temporary resident [living] among you prospers, but your brother [living] near him becomes destitute and sells himself to the foreigner living among you, or to a member of the foreigner's clan,H1616H8453H5381H3027H251H4134H4376H1616H8453H6133H1616H4940
48he has the right of redemption after he has been sold. One of his brothers may redeem him.H310H4376H1353H259H251H1350
49His uncle or cousin may redeem him, or any of his close relatives from his clan may redeem him. If he prospers, he may redeem himself.H1730H1730H1121H1350H7607H1320H4940H1350H5381H1350H3027
50The one who purchased him is to calculate [the time] from the year he sold himself to him until the Year of Jubilee. The price of his sale will be [determined] by the number of years. It will be [set] for him like the daily wages of a hired hand.H2803H7069H8141H4376H8141H3104H3701H4465H4557H8141H3117H7916
51If many years are still left, he must pay his redemption price in proportion to them based on his purchase price.H7227H8141H6310H7725H1353H3701H4736
52If only a few years remain until the Year of Jubilee, he will calculate and pay the price of his redemption in proportion to his [remaining] years.H7604H4592H8141H8141H3104H2803H6310H8141H7725H1353
53He will stay with him like a man hired year by year. A foreign owner is not to rule over him harshly in your sight.H8141H8141H7916H7287H6531H5869
54If he is not redeemed in any of these [ways], he and his children are to be released at the Year of Jubilee.H1350H3318H8141H3104H1121
55For the Israelites are My slaves. They are My slaves I brought out of the land of Egypt; I am the LORD your God.H1121H3478H5650H5650H3318H776H4714H3068H430
