8And thou shalt numberH5608 sevenH7651 sabbathsH7676 of yearsH8141 unto thee, sevenH7651 timesH6471 sevenH7651 yearsH8141; and the spaceH3117 of the sevenH7651 sabbathsH7676 of yearsH8141 shall be unto thee fortyH705 and nineH8672 yearsH8141. 9Then shalt thou cause the trumpetH7782 of the jubileH8643 to soundH5674 on the tenthH6218 day of the seventhH7637 monthH2320, in the dayH3117 of atonementH3725 shall ye make the trumpetH7782 soundH5674 throughout all your landH776.1 10And ye shall hallowH6942 the fiftiethH8141H2572 yearH8141, and proclaimH7121 libertyH1865 throughout all the landH776 unto all the inhabitantsH3427 thereof: it shall be a jubileH3104 unto you; and ye shall returnH7725 every manH376 unto his possessionH272, and ye shall returnH7725 every manH376 unto his familyH4940. 11A jubileH3104 shall that fiftiethH8141H2572 yearH8141 be unto you: ye shall not sowH2232, neither reapH7114 that which growethH5599 of itself in it, nor gatherH1219 the grapes in it of thy vine undressedH5139. 12For it is the jubileH3104; it shall be holyH6944 unto you: ye shall eatH398 the increaseH8393 thereof out of the fieldH7704. 13In the yearH8141 of this jubileH3104 ye shall returnH7725 every manH376 unto his possessionH272. 14And if thou sellH4376 oughtH4465 unto thy neighbourH5997, or buyestH7069 ought of thy neighbour’sH5997 handH3027, ye shall not oppressH3238 oneH376 anotherH251: 15According to the numberH4557 of yearsH8141 afterH310 the jubileH3104 thou shalt buyH7069 of thy neighbourH5997, and according unto the numberH4557 of yearsH8141 of the fruitsH8393 he shall sellH4376 unto thee: 16AccordingH6310 to the multitudeH7230 of yearsH8141 thou shalt increaseH7235 the priceH4736 thereof, and accordingH6310 to the fewnessH4591 of yearsH8141 thou shalt diminishH4591 the priceH4736 of it: for according to the numberH4557 of the years of the fruitsH8393 doth he sellH4376 unto thee. 17Ye shall not therefore oppressH3238 oneH376 anotherH5997; but thou shalt fearH3372 thy GodH430: for I am YhwhH3068 your GodH430.
18Wherefore ye shall doH6213 my statutesH2708, and keepH8104 my judgmentsH4941, and doH6213 them; and ye shall dwellH3427 in the landH776 in safetyH983. 19And the landH776 shall yieldH5414 her fruitH6529, and ye shall eatH398 your fillH7648, and dwellH3427 therein in safetyH983. 20And if ye shall sayH559, What shall we eatH398 the seventhH7637 yearH8141? behold, we shall not sowH2232, nor gatherH622 in our increaseH8393: 21Then I will commandH6680 my blessingH1293 upon you in the sixthH8345 yearH8141, and it shall bring forthH6213 fruitH8393 for threeH7969 yearsH8141. 22And ye shall sowH2232 the eighthH8066 yearH8141, and eatH398 yet of oldH3465 fruitH8393 until the ninthH8671 yearH8141; until her fruitsH8393 come inH935 ye shall eatH398 of the oldH3465 store.
23The landH776 shall not be soldH4376 for everH6783: for the landH776 is mine; for ye are strangersH1616 and sojournersH8453 with me.2
