1. Then Yahweh spoke to Moses on Mount Sinai, saying,
2. “Speak to the Israelites, and say to them, ‘When you come into the land that I am about to give to you, then the land shall observe a Sabbath for Yahweh.
3. Six years you shall sow your field, and six years you shall prune your vineyard, and you shall gather its yield.
4. But in the seventh year it shall be a Sabbath of complete rest for the land—a Sabbath for Yahweh; you must not sow your field, and you must not prune your vineyard.
5. You must not reap your harvest’s aftergrowth, and you must not harvest the grapes of your unpruned vines—it shall be a year of complete rest for the land.
6. And a Sabbath of the land shall be for food for you: for you and for your slave and for your slave woman and for your hired worker and for your temporary residents who are dwelling as aliens with you;
7. and all its yield shall be for your domestic animal and for the wild animal, which are in your land to eat.
8. “ ‘And you shall count for yourself seven Sabbaths of years, seven times seven years, and they shall be for you time periods of years: forty-nine years.
9. And you shall cause a loud horn blast to be heard on the seventh month on the tenth of the month; on the Day of Atonement you shall cause a ram’s horn to be heard in all your land.
10. And you shall consecrate the fiftieth year, and you shall proclaim a release in the land for all its inhabitants. It is a Jubilee; it shall be for you, and you shall return. You must return—everyone to his property and everyone to his clan.
11. You shall have the fiftieth year as a Jubilee; you must not reap its aftergrowth, and you must not harvest its unpruned vines.
12. Because it is a Jubilee, it shall be holy to you. You must eat its produce from the field.
13. “ ‘In this Year of Jubilee each of you shall return to his property.
14. And when you sell something to your fellow citizen or you buy from your neighbor’s hand, you must not oppress one another.
15. You must buy from your fellow citizen according to the number of years after the Jubilee; he must sell to you according to the number of years of yield.
16. You must increase its price according to a greater number of years, but you must decrease its price according to a lesser number of years, because he is selling its yields to you.
