  • 25:3 Six years you shall sow your field, and six years you shall prune your vineyard, and gather in the fruit thereof;
  • 25:4 But in the seventh year shall be a sabbath of rest to the land, a sabbath for the LORD: you shall neither sow your field, nor prune your vineyard.
  • 25:5 That which grows of its own accord of your harvest you shall not reap, neither gather the grapes of your vine undressed: for it is a year of rest to the land.
  • 25:6 And the sabbath of the land shall be meat for you; for you, and for your servant, and for your maid, and for your hired servant, and for your stranger that sojournes with you.
  • 25:7 And for your cattle, and for the beast that are in your land, shall all the increase thereof be meat.

  • 25:11 A jubilee shall that fiftieth year be to you: you shall not sow, neither reap that which grows of itself in it, nor gather the grapes in it of your vine undressed.

  • 25:16 According to the multitude of years you shall increase the price thereof, and according to the fewness of years you shall diminish the price of it: for according to the number of the years of the fruits does he sell to you.
  • 25:17 You shall not therefore oppress one another; but you shall fear your God: for I am the LORD your God.
  • 25:18 Why you shall do my statutes, and keep my judgments, and do them; and you shall dwell in the land in safety.

  • 25:27 Then let him count the years of the sale thereof, and restore the remainder to the man to whom he sold it; that he may return to his possession.

  • 25:33 And if a man purchase of the Levites, then the house that was sold, and the city of his possession, shall go out in the year of jubilee: for the houses of the cities of the Levites are their possession among the children of Israel.
  • 25:34 But the field of the suburbs of their cities may not be sold; for it is their perpetual possession.
  • 25:35 And if your brother be waxen poor, and fallen in decay with you; then you shall relieve him: yes, though he be a stranger, or a sojourner; that he may live with you.
  • 25:36 Take you no usury of him, or increase: but fear your God; that your brother may live with you.
  • 25:37 You shall not give him your money on usury, nor lend him your victuals for increase.

  • 25:39 And if your brother that dwells by you be waxen poor, and be sold to you; you shall not compel him to serve as a bondservant:
  • 25:40 But as an hired servant, and as a sojourner, he shall be with you, and shall serve you to the year of jubilee.
  • 25:41 And then shall he depart from you, both he and his children with him, and shall return to his own family, and to the possession of his fathers shall he return.
  • 25:42 For they are my servants, which I brought forth out of the land of Egypt: they shall not be sold as slaves.
  • 25:43 You shall not rule over him with rigor; but shall fear your God.
  • 25:44 Both your slaves, and your bondmaids, which you shall have, shall be of the heathen that are round about you; of them shall you buy slaves and bondmaids.
  • 25:45 Moreover of the children of the strangers that do sojourn among you, of them shall you buy, and of their families that are with you, which they begat in your land: and they shall be your possession.
  • 25:46 And you shall take them as an inheritance for your children after you, to inherit them for a possession; they shall be your slaves for ever: but over your brothers the children of Israel, you shall not rule one over another with rigor.
  • 25:47 And if a sojourner or stranger wax rich by you, and your brother that dwells by him wax poor, and sell himself to the stranger or sojourner by you, or to the stock of the stranger’s family:
  • 25:48 After that he is sold he may be redeemed again; one of his brothers may redeem him:
  • 25:49 Either his uncle, or his uncle’s son, may redeem him, or any that is near of kin to him of his family may redeem him; or if he be able, he may redeem himself.
  • 25:50 And he shall reckon with him that bought him from the year that he was sold to him to the year of jubilee: and the price of his sale shall be according to the number of years, according to the time of an hired servant shall it be with him.
  • 25:51 If there be yet many years behind, according to them he shall give again the price of his redemption out of the money that he was bought for.
  • 25:52 And if there remain but few years to the year of jubilee, then he shall count with him, and according to his years shall he give him again the price of his redemption.
  • 25:53 And as a yearly hired servant shall he be with him: and the other shall not rule with rigor over him in your sight.
  • 25:54 And if he be not redeemed in these years, then he shall go out in the year of jubilee, both he, and his children with him.
  • 25:55 For to me the children of Israel are servants; they are my servants whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt: I am the LORD your God.
