Leviticus 25:10-23 Revised Version 1885 (RV1885)

10. And ye shall hallow the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout the land unto all the inhabitants thereof: it shall be a jubile unto you; and ye shall return every man unto his possession, and ye shall return every man unto his family.

11. A jubile shall that fiftieth year be unto you: ye shall not sow, neither reap that which groweth of itself in it, nor gather the grapes in it of the undressed vines.

12. For it is a jubile; it shall be holy unto you: ye shall eat the increase thereof out of the field.

13. In this year of jubile ye shall return every man unto his possession.

14. And if thou sell aught unto thy neighbour, or buy of thy neighbour's hand, ye shall not wrong one another:

15. according to the number of years after the jubile thou shalt buy of thy neighbour, and according unto the number of years of the crops he shall sell unto thee.

16. According to the multitude of the years thou shalt increase the price thereof, and according to the fewness of the years thou shalt diminish the price of it; for the number of the crops doth he sell unto thee.

17. And ye shall not wrong one another; but thou shalt fear thy God: for I am the Lord your God.

18. Wherefore ye shall do my statutes, and keep my judgments and do them; and ye shall dwell in the land in safety.

19. And the land shall yield her fruit, and ye shall eat your fill, and dwell therein in safety.

20. And if ye shall say, What shall we eat the seventh year? behold, we shall not sow, nor gather in our increase:

21. then I will command my blessing upon you in the sixth year, and it shall bring forth fruit for the three years.

22. And ye shall sow the eighth year, and eat of the fruits, the old store; until the ninth year, until her fruits come in, ye shall eat the old store.

23. And the land shall not be sold in perpetuity; for the land is mine: for ye are strangers and sojourners with me.
