Speak to the Israelites and say to them: When you enter the land I am giving you, the land itself is to observe a sabbath to the LORD.
But in the seventh year the land is to have a sabbath of complete rest, a sabbath to the LORD. You shall not sow your field or prune your vineyard.
You shall not reap what grows of itself from your harvest, nor gather the grapes of your untended vines. It is to be a year of complete rest for the land.
Whatever the land yields during its sabbath will be food for you—for yourself, your male and female servants, and the hired worker and the resident alien who live among you,
and for your livestock and the wild animals in your land. All its produce may be eaten.
You shall count off seven sabbaths of years—seven times seven years—so that the period of the seven sabbaths of years comes to forty-nine years.
Then, on the tenth day of the seventh month, you shall sound the ram's horn loud and long; on the Day of Atonement you shall sound the horn throughout your land.
You shall consecrate the fiftieth year and proclaim liberty throughout the land to all its inhabitants. It shall be a jubilee for you: each of you is to return to his own property, and each of you to his own clan.
The fiftieth year shall be a jubilee for you. You shall not sow, nor reap what grows of itself, nor gather the grapes from the untended vines.
For it is a jubilee; it shall be holy to you. You shall eat what the field itself produces.
You are to buy from your neighbor according to the number of years since the jubilee, and he is to sell to you according to the number of harvest years remaining.
When the years are many, raise the price; when they are few, lower it—for what he is selling you is a number of harvests.
Do not take advantage of one another, but fear your God, for I am the LORD your God.
Keep my statutes and observe my ordinances, and carry them out; then you will live securely in the land.
You may ask, "What will we eat in the seventh year if we do not sow or gather in our crops?"
I will send you such a blessing in the sixth year that the land will yield enough for three years.
You will sow in the eighth year and eat from the old crop; you will keep eating from the old harvest until the crop of the ninth year comes in.
The land must not be sold permanently, because the land is mine; you are but aliens and tenants with me.
Throughout the land you hold as your possession, you must allow the land to be redeemed.
If one of your countrymen becomes poor and sells part of his property, his nearest relative is to come and redeem what his brother has sold.
he is to count the years since the sale and pay back the balance to the man to whom he sold it; then he may return to his property.
But if he cannot raise enough to repay him, what he sold remains in the hands of the buyer until the Year of Jubilee. In the jubilee it shall be released, and he may return to his property.
If a man sells a house in a walled city, he retains the right of redemption for a full year after the sale; during that time he may redeem it.
If it is not redeemed before a full year has passed, the house in the walled city belongs permanently to the buyer and his descendants. It is not to be released in the jubilee.
But houses in villages with no walls around them are to be considered as open country. They may be redeemed, and they are to be released in the jubilee.
As for the cities of the Levites, they always retain the right to redeem the houses in the cities they possess.
If it is not redeemed by one of the Levites, the house that was sold in the city he possesses is to be released in the Year of Jubilee, because the houses in the Levites' cities are their possession among the Israelites.
If one of your countrymen becomes poor and cannot support himself among you, help him as you would an alien or a temporary resident, so that he can go on living with you.
Do not charge him interest or make a profit from him, but fear your God, so that your countryman may continue to live among you.
Do not lend him money at interest or sell him food at a profit.
I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of Egypt to give you the land of Canaan and to be your God.
If one of your countrymen becomes poor among you and sells himself to you, do not make him work as a slave.
He is to be treated as a hired worker or a temporary resident among you; he is to work for you until the Year of Jubilee.
Then he and his children are to be released, and he will go back to his own clan and to the property of his fathers.
For they are my servants, whom I brought out of Egypt; they are not to be sold as slaves.
Do not rule over them harshly, but fear your God.
Your male and female slaves are to come from the nations around you; from them you may buy slaves.
You may also buy the children of the temporary residents living among you, and members of their clans born in your land, and they will become your property.
You may leave them to your children as an inherited possession and make them slaves for life. But you must not rule harshly over your fellow Israelites.
If an alien or a temporary resident among you prospers, and one of your countrymen becomes poor and sells himself to that alien or to a member of the alien's clan,
he retains the right of redemption after he has sold himself. One of his relatives may redeem him:
an uncle or a cousin or any blood relative in his clan may redeem him. Or, if he prospers, he may redeem himself.
He and his buyer are to count the years from the year he sold himself up to the Year of Jubilee. The price of his release is to be based on the number of years, figured at the rate paid to a hired worker.
If only a few years remain until the Year of Jubilee, he is to figure it out and pay for his redemption accordingly.
He is to be treated as a hired worker year by year, and his master must not rule over him harshly in your sight.
If he is not redeemed in any of these ways, he and his children are to be released in the Year of Jubilee.
For the Israelites belong to me as servants; they are my servants, whom I brought out of the land of Egypt. I am the LORD your God.
