Leviticus 25:8-22
8And you shall count offH5608 sevenH7651 SabbathsH7676 of yearsH8141—sevenH7651 timesH6471H1961 sevenH7651 yearsH8141—so that the sevenH3117H7651 SabbathsH7676 of yearsH8141 amount to forty-nineH705H8672 yearsH8141. 9Then you are to soundH5674 the hornH7782 far and wideH8643 on the tenth dayH6218 of the seventhH7637 monthH2320, the DayH3117 of AtonementH3725. You shall soundH5674 it throughoutH3605 your landH776.
10So you are to consecrateH6942 the fiftiethH2572H8141 yearH8141 and proclaimH7121 libertyH1865 in the landH776 for allH3605 its inhabitantsH3427. ItH1931 shall beH1961 your JubileeH3104, when eachH376 of you is to returnH7725 toH413 his propertyH272 and toH413 his clanH4940H7725.
11The fiftiethH2572H8141 yearH8141 will beH1961 a JubileeH3104H1931 for you; you are notH3808 to sowH2232 the land orH3808 reapH7114 its aftergrowthH5599H3808 or harvestH1219 the untended vinesH5139. 12ForH3588 itH1931 is a JubileeH3104; it shall beH1961 holyH6944 to you. You may eat onlyH398 the crops takenH8393 directly fromH4480 the fieldH7704.
13In thisH2063 YearH8141 of JubileeH3104, eachH376 of you shall returnH7725 toH413 his own propertyH272.
14IfH3588 you make a saleH4376H4465 to your neighborH5997 orH176 a purchaseH7069 fromH3027 himH5997, you must notH408 take advantageH3238 of eachH376 otherH251. 15You are to buyH7069 fromH854 your neighborH5997 according to the numberH4557 of yearsH8141 sinceH310 the last JubileeH3104; he is to sellH4376 to you according to the numberH4557 of harvestH8393 years remainingH8141. 16You shall increaseH7235 the priceH4736 in proportionH6310 to a greater numberH7230 of yearsH8141, or decreaseH4591 it in proportion toH6310 a lesserH4591 number of yearsH8141; forH3588 heH1931 is sellingH4376 you a given number ofH4557 harvestsH8393.
17Do notH3808 take advantageH3238 of eachH376 otherH5997, but fearH3372 your GodH430; forH3588 IH589 am the LORDH3068 your GodH430.
18You are to keepH6213 My statutesH2708 andH853 carefullyH8104 observeH6213 My judgmentsH4941, so that you may dwellH3427 securelyH983 inH5921 the landH776. 19Then the landH776 will yieldH5414 its fruitH6529, so that you can eatH398 your fillH7648 and dwellH3427 in safetyH983 in the landH5921.
20NowH3588 you may wonderH559, ‘WhatH4100 will we eatH398 in the seventhH7637 yearH8141 ifH2005 we do notH3808 sowH2232H3808 or gatherH622 our produceH8393?’ 21But I will sendH6680 My blessingH1293 upon you in the sixthH8345 yearH8141, so that the land will yieldH6213 a cropH8393 sufficient for threeH7969 yearsH8141. 22While you are sowingH2232 in the eighthH8066 yearH8141, you will be eatingH398 fromH4480 the previousH3465 harvestH8393, untilH5704 the ninthH8671 year’sH8141 harvestH8393 comes inH935.
