¹⁰Make the fiftieth year a special year, and announce freedom for all the people living in your country. This time will be called Jubilee. ⁿ You will each go back to your own property, each to your own family and family group. ¹¹The fiftieth year will be a special time for you to celebrate. Don’t plant seeds, or harvest the crops that grow by themselves, or gather grapes from the vines that are not trimmed. ¹²That year is Jubilee; it will be a holy time for you. You may eat only the crops that come from the field. ¹³In the year of Jubilee you each must go back to your own property.

Set this year apart as holy, a time to proclaim freedom throughout the land for all who live there. It will be a jubilee year for you, when each of you may return to the land that belonged to your ancestors and return to your own clan. This fiftieth year will be a jubilee for you. During that year you must not plant your fields or store away any of the crops that grow on their own, and don’t gather the grapes from your unpruned vines.
