Leviticus 25:2-12

2“Speak to Bnei-Yisrael and tell them: When you come into the land which I give you, then the land is to keep a Shabbat to Adonai.

3For six years you may sow your field and for six years you may prune your vineyard and gather in its fruits.

4But in the seventh year there is to be a Shabbat rest for the land—a Shabbat to Adonai. You are not to sow your field or prune your vineyard.

5You are not to reap what grows by itself during your harvest nor gather the grapes of your untended vine. It is to be a year of Shabbat rest for the land.

6Whatever the Shabbat of the land produces will be food for yourself, for your servant, for your maidservant, for your hired worker and for the outsider dwelling among you.

7Even for your livestock and for the animals that are in your land—all its increase will be enough food.

8“You are to count off seven Shabbatot of years—seven times seven years, so that the time is seven Shabbatot of years—49 years.

9Then on the tenth day of the seventh month, on Yom Kippur, you are to sound a shofar blast—you are to sound the shofar all throughout your land.

10You are to make the fiftieth year holy, and proclaim liberty throughout the land to all its inhabitants. It is to be a Jubilee to you, when each of you is to return to his own property and each of you is to return to his family.

11That fiftieth year will be your Jubilee. You are not to sow, or reap that which grows by itself, or gather from the untended vines.

12Since it is a Jubilee, it is to be holy to you. You will eat from its increase out of the field.
