Leviticus 25:8-22
8‘You are also to countH5608 off sevenH7651 sabbathsH7676 of yearsH8141 for yourself, sevenH7651 timesH6471 sevenH7651 yearsH8141, so that you haveH1961 the timeH3117 of the sevenH7651 sabbathsH7676 of yearsH8141, namely, forty-nineH705H8672 yearsH8141. 9You shall then soundH5674 a ram’sH7782 hornH7782 abroad on 1the tenthH6218 day of the seventhH7637 monthH2320; on the dayH3117 of atonementH3725 you shall soundH5674 a hornH7782 allH3605 through your landH776. 10You shall thus consecrateH6942 the fiftiethH2572 yearH8141 and 2proclaimH7121 3a releaseH1865 through the landH776 to allH3605 its inhabitantsH3427. It shall be a jubileeH3104 for you, 4and 5eachH376 of you shall returnH7725 to his own propertyH272, 6and eachH376 of you shall returnH7725 to his familyH4940. 11You shall haveH1961 the fiftiethH2572 yearH8141 as a jubileeH3104; you shall not sowH2232, norH3808 reapH7114 its aftergrowthH5599, norH3808 gatherH1219 in from its untrimmedH5139 vinesH5139. 12For it is a jubileeH3104; it shall be holyH6944 to you. You shall eatH398 its cropsH8393 out of the fieldH7704.
13‘7On thisH2088 yearH8141 of jubileeH3104 eachH376 of you shall returnH7725 to his own propertyH272. 14IfH3588 you makeH4376 a saleH4465, moreover, to your friendH5997 orH176 buyH7069 from your friend’sH5997 handH3027, 8you shall not wrongH3238 oneH376 anotherH251. 15Corresponding to the numberH4557 of yearsH8141 afterH310 the jubileeH3104, you shall buyH7069 from your 9friendH5997; he is to sellH4376 to you according to the numberH4557 of yearsH8141 of cropsH8393. 1610In proportionH6310 to the 11extentH7230 of the yearsH8141 you shall increaseH7235 its priceH4736, and in proportionH6310 to the fewnessH4591 of the yearsH8141 you shall diminishH4591 its priceH4736, for it is a numberH4557 of cropsH8393 he is sellingH4376 to you. 17So 12you shall not wrongH3238 oneH376 anotherH5997, but you shall 13fearH3372 your GodH430; for I am the LordH3068 your GodH430.
18‘You shall thus observeH6213 My statutesH2708 and keepH8104 My judgmentsH4941, so as to carryH6213 them out, that 14you may liveH3427 securelyH983 on the landH776. 19Then the landH776 will yieldH5414 its produceH6529, so that you can eatH398 your fillH7648 and liveH3427 securelyH983 on it. 20But ifH3588 you sayH559, “15WhatH4100 are we going to eatH398 on the seventhH7637 yearH8141 16ifH2005 we do not sowH2232 or gatherH622 in our cropsH8393?” 21then 17I will so orderH6680 My blessingH1293 for you in the sixthH8345 yearH8141 that it will bringH6213 forthH6213 the cropH8393 for threeH7969 yearsH8141. 22When you are sowingH2232 the eighthH8066 yearH8141, you can still eatH398 18oldH3465 thingsH3465 from the cropH8393, eatingH398 the old untilH5704 the ninthH8671 yearH8141 whenH5704 its cropH8393 comesH935 in.
