Context of Leviticus 25:12

10The year will be special. It is a Jubilee year. It is a time for every one of my people to become free. Everyone can return to his own land and to his family. 11The 50th year is a Jubilee year. The people must not plant any seed in the fields. They must not harvest anything that grows by itself on the bushes. It is a Jubilee year for the people. And they can eat only food that they take from the fields. 13In the Jubilee year every person must return to the land of his family. 14If the people buy and sell land from each other, they must be honest with each other.
