Leviticus 25:8–15

The Year of Jubilee

⁸‘You are also to count off seven sabbaths of years for yourself, seven times seven years, so that you have the time of the seven sabbaths of years, namely, forty-nine years.

⁹‘You shall then sound a ram’s horn abroad on ^athe tenth day of the seventh month; on the day of atonement you shall sound a horn all through your land.

¹⁰‘You shall thus set apart as holy the fiftieth year and ^aproclaim ¹a release through the land to all its inhabitants. It shall be a jubilee for you, ²and ^beach of you shall return to his own possession of land, ³and each of you shall return to his family.

¹¹‘You shall have the fiftieth year as a jubilee; you shall not sow; you shall not reap what grows of its own accord; you shall not gather in from its untrimmed vines.

¹²‘For it is a jubilee; it shall be holy to you. You shall eat its produce out of the field.

¹³‘^aOn this year of jubilee, each of you shall return to his own possession of land.

¹⁴‘If you make a sale, moreover, to your companion or buy from your friend’s hand, ^ayou shall not mistreat one another.

¹⁵‘Corresponding to the number of years after the jubilee, you shall buy from your ¹companion; he is to sell to you according to the number of years of produce.
