Leviticus - ch 25 v 1 - 20
- And Jehovah spake unto Moses in mount Sinai, saying,
- Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye come into the land which I give you, then shall the land keep a sabbath unto Jehovah.
- Six years thou shalt sow thy field, and six years thou shalt prune thy vineyard, and gather in the fruits thereof;
- but in the seventh year shall be a sabbath of solemn rest for the land, a sabbath unto Jehovah: thou shalt neither sow thy field, nor prune thy vineyard.
- That which groweth of itself of thy harvest thou shalt not reap, and the grapes of thy undressed vine thou shalt not gather: it shall be a year of solemn rest for the land.
- And the sabbath of the land shall be for food for you; for thee, and for thy servant and for thy maid, and for thy hired servant and for thy stranger, who sojourn with thee.
- And for thy cattle, and for the beasts that are in thy land, shall all the increase thereof be for food.
- And thou shalt number seven sabbaths of years unto thee, seven times seven years; and there shall be unto thee the days of seven sabbaths of years, even forty and nine years.
- Then shalt thou send abroad the loud trumpet on the tenth day of the seventh month; in the day of atonement shall ye send abroad the trumpet throughout all your land.
- And ye shall hallow the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout 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.
- 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 the undressed vines.

- In this year of jubilee ye shall return every man unto his possession.
- And if thou sell aught unto thy neighbor, or buy of thy neighbor's hand, ye shall not wrong one another.
- According to the number of years after the jubilee thou shalt buy of thy neighbor, `and' according unto the number of years of the crops he shall sell unto thee.
- According to the multitude of the years thou shalt increase the price thereof, and according to the fewness of the years thou shalt diminish the price of it; for the number of the crops doth he sell unto thee.
- And ye shall not wrong one another; but thou shalt fear thy God: for I am Jehovah your God.
- Wherefore ye shall do my statutes, and keep mine ordinances and do them; and ye shall dwell in the land in safety.
- And the land shall yield its fruit, and ye shall eat your fill, and dwell therein in safety.
- And if ye shall say, What shall we eat the seventh year? Behold, we shall not sow, nor gather in our increase;
