8. “‘Count off seven groups of 7 years. This will be 49 years. During that time there will be 7 years of rest for the land.

9. On the Day of Cleansing, you must blow the horn of a male sheep. This will be on the tenth day of the seventh month. You must blow the horn through the whole country.

10. Make the fiftieth year a special year. Announce freedom for all the people living in your country. This time will be called Jubilee. Each of you will go back to his own property. And each of you will go back to his own family and family group.

11. The fiftieth year will be a special time for you to celebrate. Don’t plant seeds. Don’t harvest the crops that grow by themselves. Don’t gather grapes from the vines that are not trimmed.
