It is a Jubilee; it shall be for you, and you shall return. You must return—everyone to his property and everyone to his clan.y 11 ⌊Youz shall have the fiftieth year as a Jubilee⌋;a you must not sow and you must not reap its aftergrowth, and you must not harvest its unpruned vines. 12 Because it is a Jubilee, it shall be holy to you. You must eat itsb produce from the field.
