It shall be a jubilee for you, and each of you shall return to his own property, and each of you shall return to his family.H6942H2572H8141H8141H7121H1865H776H3427H3104H7725H376H272H7725H376H4940 11'You shall have the fiftieth year as a jubilee; you shall not sow, nor reap its aftergrowth, nor gather in [from] its untrimmed vines.H3104H2572H8141H8141H2232H7114H5599H1219H5139 12'For it is a jubilee; it shall be holy to you. You shall eat its crops out of the field.H3104H6944H398H8393H7704 13'On this year of jubilee each of you shall return to his own property.H8141H3104H7725H376H272 14'If you make a sale, moreover, to your friend, or buy from your friend's hand, you shall not wrong one another.H4376H4465H5997H7069H5997H3027H3238H376H251 15'Corresponding to the number of years after the jubilee, you shall buy from your friend;

but at the jubilee it shall revert, that he may return to his property.H3027H1767H4672H7725H4465H3027H7069H8141H3104H3104H3318H7725H272 29'Likewise, if a man sells a dwelling house in a walled city, then his redemption right remains valid until a full year from its sale; his right of redemption lasts a full year.H376H4376H4186H1004H2346H5892H1353H8552H8141H4465H3117H1353 30'But if it is not bought back for him within the space of a full year, then the house that is in the walled city passes permanently to its purchaser throughout his generations; it does not revert in the jubilee.H1350H4390H8549H8141H1004H2346H5892H6965H6783H7069H1755H3318H3104 31'The houses of the villages, however, which have no surrounding wall shall be considered as open fields; they have redemption rights and revert in the jubilee.H1004H2691H2346H5439H2803H7704H776H1353H3318H3104 32'As for cities of the Levites, the Levites have a permanent right of redemption for the houses of the cities which are their possession.H5892H3881H1004H5892H272H3881H1353H5769 33'What, therefore, belongs to the Levites may be redeemed and a house sale in the city of this possession reverts in the jubilee, for the houses of the cities of the Levites are their possession among the sons of Israel.H1350H3881H1004H4465H5892H272H3318H3104H1004H5892H3881H272H8432H1121H3478 34'But pasture fields of their cities shall not be sold, for that is their perpetual possession.H7704H4054H5892H4376H5769H272 35'Now in case a countryman of yours becomes poor and his means with regard to you falter, then you are to sustain him, like a stranger or a sojourner, that he may live with you.H251H4134H4131H3027H2388H1616H8453H2416 36'Do not take usurious interest from him, but revere your God, that your countryman may live with you.H3947H5392H8636H3372H430H251H2416 37'You shall not give him your silver at interest, nor your food for gain.H5414H3701H5392H5414H400H4768 38'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.H3068H430H3318H776H4714H5414H776H3667H430 39'And if a countryman of yours becomes so poor with regard to you that he sells himself to you, you shall not subject him to a slave's service.H251H4134H4376H5647H5656H5650 40'He shall be with you as a hired man, as if he were a sojourner; he shall serve with you until the year of jubilee.H7916H8453H5647H8141H3104 41'He shall then go out from you, he and his sons with him, and shall go back to his family, that he may return to the property of his forefathers.H3318H1121H7725H4940H272H1H7725 42'For they are My servants whom I brought out from the land of Egypt; they are not to be sold [in] a slave sale.H5650H3318H776H4714H4376H4466H5650 43'You shall not rule over him with severity, but are to revere your God.H7287H6531H3372H430 44'As for your male and female slaves whom you may have— you may acquire male and female slaves from the pagan nations that are around you.H5650H519H1471H5439H7069H5650H519 45'Then, too, [it is] out of the sons of the sojourners who live as aliens among you that you may gain acquisition, and out of their families who are with you, whom they will have produced in your land; they also may become your possession.H1121H8453H1481H7069H4940H3205H776H272 46'You may even bequeath them to your sons after you, to receive as a possession; you can use them as permanent slaves. But in respect to your countrymen, the sons of Israel, you shall not rule with severity over one another.H5157H1121H310H3423H272H5647H5769H251H1121H3478H7287H376H251H6531 47'Now if the means of a stranger or of a sojourner with you becomes sufficient, and a countryman of yours becomes so poor with regard to him as to sell himself to a stranger who is sojourning with you, or to the descendants of a stranger's family,H1616H8453H5381H3027H251H4134H4376H1616H8453H6133H1616H4940 48then he shall have redemption right after he has been sold. One of his brothers may redeem him,H310H4376H1353H259H251H1350 49or his uncle, or his uncle's son, may redeem him, or one of his blood relatives from his family may redeem him; or if he prospers, he may redeem himself.H1730H1730H1121H1350H7607H1320H4940H1350H5381H1350H3027 50'He then with his purchaser shall calculate from the year when he sold himself to him up to the year of jubilee; and the price of his sale shall correspond to the number of years. [It is] like the days of a hired man [that] he shall be with him.H2803H7069H8141H4376H8141H3104H3701H4465H4557H8141H3117H7916 51'If there are still many years, he shall refund part of his purchase price in proportion to them for his own redemption;H7227H8141H6310H7725H1353H3701H4736 52and if few years remain until the year of jubilee, he shall so calculate with him. In proportion to his years he is to refund [the amount for] his redemption.H7604H4592H8141H8141H3104H2803H6310H8141H7725H1353 53'Like a man hired year by year he shall be with him; he shall not rule over him with severity in your sight.H8141H8141H7916H7287H6531H5869 54'Even if he is not redeemed by these [means], he shall still go out in the year of jubilee, he and his sons with him.H1350H3318H8141H3104H1121 55'For the sons of Israel are My servants; they are My servants whom I brought out from the land of Egypt.
