1 And the LORD [Yahweh] spoke to Moses in mount Sinai, saying,
2 Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, When you come into the land which I give you, then will the land keep a sabbath to the LORD [Yahweh].
3 Six years you will sow your field, and six years you will prune your vineyard, and gather in the fruit of it;
4 But in the seventh year will be a sabbath of rest to the land, a sabbath for the LORD [Yahweh]: you will neither sow your field, nor prune your vineyard.
5 That which grows of its own accord of your harvest you will not reap, neither gather the grapes of your vine undressed: [for] it is a year of rest to the land.
6 And the sabbath of the land will be meat for you; for you, and for your servant, and for your maid, and for your hired servant, and for your stranger that sojourns with you,
7 And for your cattle, and for the beast that [are] in your land, will all the increase of it be meat.
8 And you will number seven sabbaths of years to you, seven times seven years; and the space of the seven sabbaths of years will be to you forty and nine years.
9 Then will you cause the trumpet of the jubile to sound on the tenth [day] of the seventh month, in the day of atonement will you make the trumpet sound throughout all your land.
10 And you will hallow the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout [all] the land to all the inhabitants of it: it will be a jubile to you; and you will return every man to his possession, and you will return every man to his family.
11 A jubile will that fiftieth year be to you: you will not sow, neither reap that which grows of itself in it, nor gather [the grapes] in it of your vine undressed.
12 For it [is] the jubile; it will be holy to you: you will eat the increase of it out of the field.
13 In the year of this jubile you will return every man to his possession.
14 And if you sell ought to your neighbor, or buy [ought] of your neighbor's hand, you will not oppress one another:
15 According to the number of years after the jubile you will buy of your neighbor, [and] according to the number of years of the fruits he will sell to you:
16 According to the multitude of years you will increase the price of it, and according to the fewness of years you will diminish the price of it: for [according] to the number [of the years] of the fruits does he sell to you.
17 You will not therefore oppress one another; but you will fear your God: for I [am] the LORD [Yahweh] your God.
18 Therefore you will do my statutes, and keep my judgments, and do them; and you will dwell in the land in safety.
19 And the land will yield her fruit, and you will eat your fill, and dwell therein in safety.
20 And if you will say, What will we eat the seventh year? behold, we will not sow, nor gather in our increase:
21 Then I will command my blessing upon you in the sixth year, and it will bring forth fruit for three years.
22 And you will sow the eighth year, and eat [yet] of old fruit until the ninth year; until her fruits come in you will eat [of] the old [store].
23 The land will not be sold for ever: for the land [is] mine; for you [are] strangers and sojourners with me.
24 And in all the land of your possession you will grant a redemption for the land.
25 If your brother be become poor, and has sold away [some] of his possession, and if any of his kin come to redeem it, then will he redeem that which his brother sold.
26 And if the man have none to redeem it, and himself be able to redeem it;
27 Then let him count the years of the sale of it, and restore the overplus to the man to whom he sold it; that he may return to his possession.
28 But if he be not able to restore [it] to him, then that which is sold will remain in the hand of him that has bought it until the year of jubile: and in the jubile it will go out, and he will return to his possession.
29 And if a man sell a dwelling house in a walled city, then he may redeem it within a whole year after it is sold; [within] a full year may he redeem it.
30 And if it be not redeemed within the space of a full year, then the house that [is] in the walled city will be established for ever to him that bought it throughout his generations: it will not go out in the jubile.
31 But the houses of the villages which have no wall round about them will be counted as the fields of the country: they may be redeemed, and they will go out in the jubile.
32 Notwithstanding the cities of the Levites, [and] the houses of the cities of their possession, may the Levites redeem at any time.
33 And if a man purchase of the Levites, then the house that was sold, and the city of his possession, will go out in [the year of] jubile: for the houses of the cities of the Levites [are] their possession among the children of Israel.
34 But the field of the suburbs of their cities may not be sold; for it [is] their perpetual possession.
35 And if your brother be become poor, and fallen in decay with you; then you will relieve him: [yes, though he be] a stranger, or a sojourner; that he may live with you.
36 Take you no usury of him, or increase: but fear your God; that your brother may live with you.
37 You will not give him your money upon usury, nor lend him your victuals for increase.
38 I [am] the LORD [Yahweh] your God, which brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, to give you the land of Canaan, [and] to be your God.
39 And if your brother [that dwells] by you be become poor, and be sold to you; you will not compel him to serve as a bondservant:
40 [But] as a hired servant, [and] as a sojourner, he will be with you, [and] will serve you to the year of jubile:
41 And [then] will he depart from you, [both] he and his children with him, and will return to his own family, and to the possession of his fathers will he return.
42 For they [are] my servants, which I brought forth out of the land of Egypt: they will not be sold as bondmen.
43 You will not rule over him with rigour; but will fear your God.
44 Both your bondmen, and your bondmaids, which you will have, [will be] of the heathen that are round about you; of them will you buy bondmen and bondmaids.
45 Moreover of the children of the strangers that sojourn among you, of them will you buy, and of their families that [are] with you, which they had in your land: and they will be your possession.
46 And you will take them as an inheritance for your children after you, to inherit [them for] a possession; they will be your bondmen for ever: but over your brothers the children of Israel, you will not rule one over another with rigour.
47 And if a sojourner or stranger wax rich by you, and your brother [that dwells] by him wax poor, and sell himself to the stranger [or] sojourner by you, or to the stock of the stranger's family:
48 After that he is sold he may be redeemed again; one of his brothers may redeem him:
49 Either his uncle, or his uncle's son, may redeem him, or [any] that is near of kin to him of his family may redeem him; or if he be able, he may redeem himself.
50 And he will reckon with him that bought him from the year that he was sold to him to the year of jubile: and the price of his sale will be according to the number of years, according to the time of a hired servant will it be with him.
51 If [there be] yet many years [behind], according to them he will give again the price of his redemption out of the money that he was bought for.
52 And if there remain but few years to the year of jubile, then he will count with him, [and] according to his years will he give him again the price of his redemption.
53 [And] as a yearly hired servant will he be with him: [and the other] will not rule with rigour over him in your sight.
54 And if he be not redeemed in these [years], then he will go out in the year of jubile, [both] he, and his children with him.
55 For to me the children of Israel [are] servants; they [are] my servants whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt: I [am] the LORD [Yahweh] your God.
