Leviticus 25:10-29 Tree Of Life Version (TLV)

10. You are to make the fiftieth year holy, and proclaim liberty throughout the land to all its inhabitants. It is to be a Jubilee to you, when each of you is to return to his own property and each of you is to return to his family.

11. That fiftieth year will be your Jubilee. You are not to sow, or reap that which grows by itself, or gather from the untended vines.

12. Since it is a Jubilee, it is to be holy to you. You will eat from its increase out of the field.

13. “In this Year of Jubilee each of you will return to his property.

14. “If you sell anything to your neighbor or buy from your neighbor, you are not to wrong one another.

15. Corresponding to the number of years after the Jubilee you are to purchase land from your neighbor’s hand. He is to sell it to you based on the number of years of crops.

16. In proportion to the extent of years you may increase its price, or decrease its price in proportion to the fewness of years, because he is selling a number of harvests to you.

17. You are not to cheat one another, but fear your God, for I am Adonai your God.

18. “Therefore you are to keep My statutes and observe My ordinances, and carry them out, so that you may live securely in the land.

19. Then the land will yield its fruit, and you may eat your fill and live there in safety.

20. Now if you ask: What are we to eat during the seventh year if, see, we are not to sow, nor gather in our increase?

21. Now I will command My blessing to you in the sixth year, so that it will yield a harvest sufficient for three years.

22. When you sow during the eighth year, you will still be eating the old, stored harvest until the harvest of the ninth year comes in.

23. “Moreover, the land is not to be sold ­permanently, because the land is Mine. For you are sojourners with Me.

24. For any land you possess, you are to provide for redemption of the land.

25. “If your brother becomes poor and sells some of his property, then his nearest kinsman may come and redeem what his brother has sold.

26. If a man has no kinsman-redeemer, but he himself recovers and finds sufficient means to redeem it,

27. then let him reckon the years since its sale and restore the surplus to the man to whom he sold it. Then he will return to his property.

28. But if he is not able to get it back for himself, then what he has sold is to remain in the hand of the one who has bought it until the Year of Jubilee. Then in the Jubilee it shall be released, so he may return to his property.

29. “If a man sells a house in a walled city, then he may redeem it within a whole year after it has been sold. For a full year he has the right of redemption.
