25:5 | That which groweth of its own accord of thy harvest thou shalt not reap, neither gather the grapes of thy vine undressed: [for] it is a year of rest unto the land. |
25:6 | And the sabbath of the land shall be ![]() |

25:10 | And ye shall hallow the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout [all] the land unto all the inhabitants thereof: it shall be a jubilee unto you; and ye shall return every man unto his possession, and ye shall return every man unto his family. |
25:11 | A jubilee shall that fiftieth year be unto you: ye shall not sow, neither reap that which groweth of itself in it, nor gather [the grapes] in it of thy vine undressed. |
25:12 | For it [is] the jubilee; it shall be holy unto you: ye shall eat the increase thereof out of the field. |
25:13 | In the year of this jubilee ye shall return every man unto his possession. |
25:14 | And if thou sell ought unto thy neighbour, or buyest [ought] of thy neighbour' hand, ye shall not oppress one another: |
25:15 | According to the number of years after the jubilee thou shalt buy of thy neighbour, [and] according unto the number of years of the fruits he shall sell unto thee: |
25:16 | According to the multitude of years thou shalt increase the price thereof, and according to the fewness of years thou shalt diminish the price of it: for [according] to the number [of the years] of the fruits doth he sell unto thee. |

25:21 | Then I will command my blessing upon you in the sixth year, and it shall bring forth fruit for three years. |
25:22 | And ye shall sow the eighth year, and eat [yet] of old fruit until the ninth year; until her fruits come in ye shall eat [of] the old [store]. |
25:23 | The land shall not be sold for ever: for the land [is] mine; for ye [are] strangers and sojourners with me. |
25:24 | And in all the land of your possession ye shall grant a redemption for the land. |
25:25 | If thy brother be waxen poor, and hath sold away [some] of his possession, and if any of his kin come to redeem it, then shall he redeem that which his brother sold. |

25:27 | Then let him count the years of the sale thereof, and restore the overplus unto the man to whom he sold it; that he may return unto his possession. |
25:28 | But if he be not able to restore [it] to him, then that which is sold shall remain in the hand of him that hath bought it until the year of jubilee: and in the jubilee it shall go out, and he shall return unto his possession. |
