Leviticus 25:8-17

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.

13“In this Year of Jubilee each of you will return to his property.

14“If you sell anything to your neighbor or buy from your neighbor, you are not to wrong one another.

15Corresponding to the number of years after the Jubilee you are to purchase land from your neighbor’s hand. He is to sell it to you based on the number of years of crops.

16In proportion to the extent of years you may increase its price, or decrease its price in proportion to the fewness of years, because he is selling a number of harvests to you.

17You are not to cheat one another, but fear your God, for I am Adonai your God.
