Leviticus 25:11-18 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

11. for it is the Jubilee and the fiftieth year. You shall not sow, and you shall not reap what grows in the field of its own accord, and you shall not gather the first-fruits of the crop,

12. due to the sanctification of the Jubilee. But you shall eat them as they present themselves.

13. In the year of the Jubilee, all shall return to their possessions.

14. When you will sell anything to your fellow citizen, or buy anything from him, do not cause your brother grief, but buy from him according to the number of years from the Jubilee,

15. and he shall sell to you according to the computation of the produce.

16. The more years that will remain after the Jubilee, the more the price shall increase, and the less the time is numbered, so much less shall the purchase price be. For he will sell to you the time for the produce.

17. Do be willing to afflict your countrymen, but let each one fear his God. For I am the Lord your God.

18. Accomplish my precepts, and observe my judgments, and complete them, so that you may be able to live in the land without any fear,
