1
And the LORD[H3068]spake[H1696] unto Moses[H4872] in mount[H2022]Sinai[H5514], saying[H559],
2Speak[H1696] unto the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478], and say[H559] unto them, When ye come[H935] into the land[H776] which I give[H5414] you, then shall the land[H776]keep[H7673] a sabbath[H7676] unto the LORD[H3068].
3Six[H8337]years[H8141] thou shalt sow[H2232] thy field[H7704], and six[H8337]years[H8141] thou shalt prune[H2168] thy vineyard[H3754], and gather[H622] in the fruit[H8393] thereof;
4
But in the seventh[H7637]year[H8141] shall be a sabbath[H7676] of rest[H7677] unto the land[H776], a sabbath[H7676] for the LORD[H3068]: thou shalt neither sow[H2232] thy field[H7704], nor prune[H2168] thy vineyard[H3754].
5
That which groweth of its own accord[H5599] of thy harvest[H7105] thou shalt not reap[H7114], neither gather[H1219] the grapes[H6025] of thy vine undressed[H5139]: for it is a year[H8141] of rest[H7677] unto the land[H776].
6
And the sabbath[H7676] of the land[H776] shall be meat[H402] for you; for thee, and for thy servant[H5650], and for thy maid[H519], and for thy hired servant[H7916], and for thy stranger[H8453] that sojourneth[H1481] with thee,
7
And for thy cattle[H929], and for the beast[H2416] that are in thy land[H776], shall all the increase[H8393] thereof be meat[H398].
8
And thou shalt number[H5608]seven[H7651]sabbaths[H7676] of years[H8141] unto thee, seven[H7651]times[H6471]seven[H7651]years[H8141]; and the space[H3117] of the seven[H7651]sabbaths[H7676] of years[H8141] shall be unto thee forty[H705] and nine[H8672]years[H8141].
9
Then shalt thou cause the trumpet[H7782] of the jubile[H8643] to sound[H5674] on the tenth[H6218]day[H3117] of the seventh[H7637]month[H2320], in the day[H3117] of atonement[H3725] shall ye make the trumpet[H7782]sound[H5674] throughout all your land[H776].
10
And ye shall hallow[H6942] the fiftieth[H2572]year[H8141], and proclaim[H7121]liberty[H1865] throughout all the land[H776] unto all the inhabitants[H3427] thereof: it shall be a jubile[H3104] unto you; and ye shall return[H7725] every man[H376] unto his possession[H272], and ye shall return[H7725] every man[H376] unto his family[H4940].
11
A jubile[H3104] shall that fiftieth[H2572]year[H8141] be unto you: ye shall not sow[H2232], neither reap[H7114] that which groweth[H5599] of itself in it, nor gather[H1219] the grapes in it of thy vine undressed[H5139].
12
For it is the jubile[H3104]; it shall be holy[H6944] unto you: ye shall eat[H398] the increase[H8393] thereof out of the field[H7704].
13
In the year[H8141] of this jubile[H3104] ye shall return[H7725] every man[H376] unto his possession[H272].
14
And if thou sell[H4376]ought[H4465] unto thy neighbour[H5997], or buyest[H7069]ought[H4465] of thy neighbour[H5997]'s hand[H3027], ye shall not oppress[H3238]one[H376]another[H251]:
15
According to the number[H4557] of years[H8141]after[H310] the jubile[H3104] thou shalt buy[H7069] of thy neighbour[H5997], and according unto the number[H4557] of years[H8141] of the fruits[H8393] he shall sell[H4376] unto thee:
16According[H6310] to the multitude[H7230] of years[H8141] thou shalt increase[H7235] the price[H4736] thereof, and according[H6310] to the fewness[H4591] of years[H8141] thou shalt diminish[H4591] the price[H4736] of it: for according[H6310] to the number[H4557] of the years[H8141] of the fruits[H8393] doth he sell[H4376] unto thee.
17
Ye shall not therefore oppress[H3238]one[H376]another[H5997]; but thou shalt fear[H3372] thy God[H430]: for I am the LORD[H3068] your God[H430].
18
Wherefore ye shall do[H6213] my statutes[H2708], and keep[H8104] my judgments[H4941], and do[H6213] them; and ye shall dwell[H3427] in the land[H776] in safety[H983].
19
And the land[H776] shall yield[H5414] her fruit[H6529], and ye shall eat[H398] your fill[H7648], and dwell[H3427] therein in safety[H983].
20
And if ye shall say[H559], What shall we eat[H398] the seventh[H7637]year?[H8141] behold, we shall not sow[H2232], nor gather[H622] in our increase[H8393]:
21
Then I will command[H6680] my blessing[H1293] upon you in the sixth[H8345]year[H8141], and it shall bring forth[H6213]fruit[H8393] for three[H7969]years[H8141].
22
And ye shall sow[H2232] the eighth[H8066]year[H8141], and eat[H398] yet of old[H3465]fruit[H8393] until the ninth[H8671]year[H8141]; until her fruits[H8393] come in[H935] ye shall eat[H398] of the old[H3465] store.
23
The land[H776] shall not be sold[H4376] for ever[H6783]: for the land[H776] is mine; for ye are strangers[H1616] and sojourners[H8453] with me.
24
And in all the land[H776] of your possession[H272] ye shall grant[H5414] a redemption[H1353] for the land[H776].
25
If thy brother[H251] be waxen poor[H4134], and hath sold[H4376] away some of his possession[H272], and if any of his kin[H7138]come[H935] to redeem[H1350] it, then shall he redeem[H1350] that which his brother[H251]sold[H4465].
26
And if the man[H376] have none to redeem[H1350] it, and himself[H3027] be able[H1767] to redeem[H4672] it;
27
Then let him count[H2803] the years[H8141] of the sale[H4465] thereof, and restore[H7725] the overplus[H5736] unto the man[H376] to whom he sold[H4376] it; that he may return[H7725] unto his possession[H272].
28
But if he[H3027] be not able[H1767] to restore[H4672] it to him, then that which is sold[H4465] shall remain in the hand[H3027] of him that hath bought[H7069] it until the year[H8141] of jubile[H3104]: and in the jubile[H3104] it shall go out[H3318], and he[H3027] shall return[H7725] unto his possession[H272].
29
And if a man[H376]sell[H4376] a dwelling[H4186]house[H1004] in a walled[H2346]city[H5892], then he may redeem[H1353] it within a whole[H8552]year[H8141] after it is sold[H4465]; within a full year[H3117] may he redeem[H1353] it.
30
And if it be not redeemed[H1350] within the space[H4390] of a full[H8549]year[H8141], then the house[H1004] that is in the walled[H2346]city[H5892] shall be established[H6965] for ever[H6783] to him that bought[H7069] it throughout his generations[H1755]: it shall not go out[H3318] in the jubile[H3104].
31
But the houses[H1004] of the villages[H2691] which have no wall[H2346] round about[H5439] them shall be counted[H2803] as the fields[H7704] of the country[H776]: they may be redeemed[H1353], and they shall go out[H3318] in the jubile[H3104].
32
Notwithstanding the cities[H5892] of the Levites[H3881], and the houses[H1004] of the cities[H5892] of their possession[H272], may the Levites[H3881]redeem[H1353] at any time[H5769].
33
And if a man purchase[H1350] of the Levites[H3881], then the house[H1004] that was sold[H4465], and the city[H5892] of his possession[H272], shall go out[H3318] in the year of jubile[H3104]: for the houses[H1004] of the cities[H5892] of the Levites[H3881] are their possession[H272]among[H8432] the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478].
34
But the field[H7704] of the suburbs[H4054] of their cities[H5892] may not be sold[H4376]; for it is their perpetual[H5769]possession[H272].
35
And if thy brother[H251] be waxen poor[H4134], and fallen in decay[H4131] with thee[H3027]; then thou shalt relieve[H2388] him: yea, though he be a stranger[H1616], or a sojourner[H8453]; that he may live[H2416] with thee[H3027].
36Take[H3947] thou no usury[H5392] of him, or increase[H8636]: but fear[H3372] thy God[H430]; that thy brother[H251] may live[H2416] with thee.
37
Thou shalt not give[H5414] him thy money[H3701] upon usury[H5392], nor lend[H5414] him thy victuals[H400] for increase[H4768].
38
I am the LORD[H3068] your God[H430], which brought you forth[H3318] out of the land[H776] of Egypt[H4714], to give[H5414] you the land[H776] of Canaan[H3667], and to be your God[H430].
39
And if thy brother[H251] that dwelleth by thee be waxen poor[H4134], and be sold[H4376] unto thee; thou shalt not compel[H5647] him to serve[H5656] as a bondservant[H5650]:
40
But as an hired servant[H7916], and as a sojourner[H8453], he shall be with thee, and shall serve[H5647] thee unto the year[H8141] of jubile[H3104]:
41
And then shall he depart[H3318] from thee, both he and his children[H1121] with him, and shall return[H7725] unto his own family[H4940], and unto the possession[H272] of his fathers[H1] shall he return[H7725].
42
For they are my servants[H5650], which I brought forth[H3318] out of the land[H776] of Egypt[H4714]: they shall not be sold[H4376]as[H4466]bondmen[H5650].
43
Thou shalt not rule[H7287] over him with rigour[H6531]; but shalt fear[H3372] thy God[H430].
44
Both thy bondmen[H5650], and thy bondmaids[H519], which thou shalt have, shall be of the heathen[H1471] that are round about[H5439] you; of them shall ye buy[H7069]bondmen[H5650] and bondmaids[H519].
45
Moreover of the children[H1121] of the strangers[H8453] that do sojourn[H1481] among you, of them shall ye buy[H7069], and of their families[H4940] that are with you, which they begat[H3205] in your land[H776]: and they shall be your possession[H272].
46
And ye shall take them as an inheritance[H5157] for your children[H1121]after[H310] you, to inherit[H3423] them for a possession[H272]; they shall be your bondmen[H5647] for ever[H5769]: but over your brethren[H251] the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478], ye shall not rule[H7287]one[H376] over another[H251] with rigour[H6531].
47
And if a sojourner[H1616] or stranger[H8453] wax rich[H5381] by thee[H3027], and thy brother[H251] that dwelleth by him wax poor[H4134], and sell[H4376] himself unto the stranger[H1616] or sojourner[H8453] by thee[H3027], or to the stock[H6133] of the stranger[H1616]'s family[H4940]:
48After[H310] that he is sold[H4376] he may be redeemed again[H1353]; one[H259] of his brethren[H251] may redeem[H1350] him:
49
Either his uncle[H1730], or his uncle[H1730]'s son[H1121], may redeem[H1350] him, or any that is nigh[H7607] of kin[H1320] unto him of his family[H4940] may redeem[H1350] him; or if he be able[H5381], he may redeem[H1350]himself[H3027].
50
And he shall reckon[H2803] with him that bought[H7069] him from the year[H8141] that he was sold[H4376] to him unto the year[H8141] of jubile[H3104]: and the price[H3701] of his sale[H4465] shall be according unto the number[H4557] of years[H8141], according to the time[H3117] of an hired servant[H7916] shall it be with him.
51
If there be yet many[H7227]years[H8141] behind, according[H6310] unto them he shall give again[H7725] the price of his redemption[H1353] out of the money[H3701] that he was bought[H4736] for.
52
And if there remain[H7604] but few[H4592]years[H8141] unto the year[H8141] of jubile[H3104], then he shall count[H2803] with him, and according[H6310] unto his years[H8141] shall he give him again[H7725] the price of his redemption[H1353].
53
And as a yearly[H8141] hired servant[H7916] shall he be with him: and the other shall not rule[H7287] with rigour[H6531] over him in thy sight[H5869].
54
And if he be not redeemed[H1350] in these years, then he shall go out[H3318] in the year[H8141] of jubile[H3104], both he, and his children[H1121] with him.
55
For unto me the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478] are servants[H5650]; they are my servants[H5650] whom I brought forth[H3318] out of the land[H776] of Egypt[H4714]: I am the LORD[H3068] your God[H430].
