New King James Version
Leviticus 25:8-28
8‘And you shall count seven sabbaths of years for yourself, seven times seven years; and the time of the seven sabbaths of years shall be to you forty-nine years.
9Then you shall cause the trumpet of the Jubilee to sound on the tenth day of the seventh month; on the Day of Atonement you shall make the trumpet to sound throughout all your land.
10And you shall consecrate the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout all the land to all its inhabitants. It shall be a Jubilee for you; and each of you shall return to his possession, and each of you shall return to his family.
11That fiftieth year shall be a Jubilee to you; in it you shall neither sow nor reap what grows of its own accord, nor gather the grapes of your untended vine.
12For it is the Jubilee; it shall be holy to you; you shall eat its produce from the field.
13‘In this Year of Jubilee, each of you shall return to his possession.
14And if you sell anything to your neighbor or buy from your neighbor’s hand, you shall not oppress one another.
15According to the number of years after the Jubilee you shall buy from your neighbor, and according to the number of years of crops he shall sell to you.
16According to the multitude of years you shall increase its price, and according to the fewer number of years you shall diminish its price; for he sells to you according to the number of the years of the crops.
17Therefore you shall not oppress one another, but you shall fear your God; for I am the Lord your God.
18‘So you shall observe My statutes and keep My judgments, and perform them; and you will dwell in the land in safety.
19Then the land will yield its fruit, and you will eat your fill, and dwell there in safety.
20‘And if you say, “What shall we eat in the seventh year, since we shall not sow nor gather in our produce?”
21Then I will command My blessing on you in the sixth year, and it will bring forth produce enough for three years.
22And you shall sow in the eighth year, and eat old produce until the ninth year; until its produce comes in, you shall eat of the old harvest.
23‘The land shall not be sold permanently, for the land is Mine; for you are strangers and sojourners with Me.
24And in all the land of your possession you shall grant redemption of the land.
25‘If one of your brethren becomes poor, and has sold some of his possession, and if his redeeming relative comes to redeem it, then he may redeem what his brother sold.
26Or if the man has no one to redeem it, but he himself becomes able to redeem it,
27then let him count the years since its sale, and restore the remainder to the man to whom he sold it, that he may return to his possession.
28But if he is not able to have it restored to himself, then what was sold shall remain in the hand of him who bought it until the Year of Jubilee; and in the Jubilee it shall be released, and he shall return to his possession.
