Leviticus 25:8-28
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, that is, forty-nineH705H8672 yearsH8141. 9You shall then soundH5674 a ram’sH7782 hornH7782 1abroadH8643 on 2the tenthH6218 day of the seventhH7637 monthH2320; on the DayH3117 of AtonementH3725 you shall soundH5674 a hornH7782 allH3605 through your landH776. 10So you shall consecrateH6942 the fiftiethH2572 yearH8141 and 3proclaimH7121 4a releaseH1865 throughout the landH776 to allH3605 its inhabitantsH3427. It shall be a jubileeH3104 for you, 5and 6eachH376 of you shall returnH7725 to his own propertyH272, 7and eachH376 of you shall returnH7725 to his familyH4940. 11You shall haveH1961 the fiftiethH2572 yearH8141 as a jubileeH3104; you shall not sowH2232, norH3808 harvestH7114 its aftergrowthH5599, norH3808 gatherH1219 grapesH1219 from its untrimmedH5139 vinesH5139. 12For it is a jubileeH3104; it shall be holyH6944 to you. You shall eatH398 its produceH8393 from the fieldH7704.
13‘8On thisH2088 yearH8141 of jubileeH3104 eachH376 of you shall returnH7725 to his own propertyH272. 14Furthermore, ifH3588 you makeH4376 a saleH4465 to your friendH5997, orH176 buyH7069 from your friend’sH5997 handH3027, 9you shall not 10wrongH3238 oneH376 anotherH251. 15Corresponding to the numberH4557 of yearsH8141 afterH310 the jubileeH3104, you shall buyH7069 from your 11friendH5997; he is to sellH4376 to you according to the numberH4557 of yearsH8141 of cropsH8393. 1612In proportionH6310 to 13a greaterH7230 numberH7230 of yearsH8141 you shall increaseH7235 its priceH4736, and in proportionH6310 to 14fewerH4591 yearsH8141 you shall decreaseH4591 its priceH4736, because it is the numberH4557 of cropsH8393 that he is sellingH4376 to you. 17So 15you shall not 16wrongH3238 oneH376 anotherH5997, but you shall 17fearH3372 your GodH430; for I am the LordH3068 your GodH430.
18‘You shall therefore 18followH6213 My statutesH2708 and keepH8104 My judgmentsH4941 so as to carryH6213 them outH6213, so that 19you 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, “20WhatH4100 are we going to eatH398 in the seventhH7637 yearH8141 ifH2005 we do not sowH2232 nor gatherH622 inH622 our produceH8393?” 21then 21I will so orderH6680 My blessingH1293 for you in the sixthH8345 yearH8141 that it will bringH6213 forthH6213 the produceH8393 for threeH7969 yearsH8141. 22When you are sowingH2232 the eighthH8066 yearH8141, you can still eatH398 22oldH3465 thingsH3465 from the produceH8393, eatingH398 the old untilH5704 the ninthH8671 yearH8141 whenH5704 its produceH8393 comesH935 inH935.
23‘The landH776, moreover, shall not be soldH4376 permanentlyH6783, becauseH3588 23the landH776 is Mine; for 24you are only strangersH1616 and residentsH8453 with Me. 24So for everyH3605 25pieceH776 of your propertyH272, you are to provideH5414 for the redemptionH1353 of the landH776.
25‘26IfH3588 a fellowH251 countrymanH251 of yours becomesH4134 so poorH4134 that he sellsH4376 part of his propertyH272, then his closestH7138 27redeemerH1350 is to comeH935 and buyH1350 backH1350 whatH4465 his relativeH251 has soldH4465. 26Or inH3588 caseH3588 someoneH376 hasH1961 noH3808 redeemerH1350, but 28recoversH3027H5381 to findH4672 sufficientH1767 meansH1767 for its redemptionH1353, 2729then he shall calculateH2803 the yearsH8141 since its saleH4465 and refundH7725 the balanceH5736 to the manH376 to whomH834 he soldH4376 it, and so returnH7725 to his propertyH272. 28But ifH518 30he has not foundH4672 sufficientH1767 meansH3027 to getH7725 it backH7725 for himself, then whatH4465 he has soldH4465 shall remainH1961 in the handsH3027 of its purchaserH7069 untilH5704 the yearH8141 of jubileeH3104; but at the jubileeH3104 it shall 31revertH3318, so that 32he may returnH7725 to his propertyH272.
