Leviticus 25:6-21 World Messianic Bible British Edition (WMBBE)

6. The Sabbath of the land shall be for food for you; for yourself, for your servant, for your maid, for your hired servant, and for your stranger, who lives as a foreigner with you.

7. For your livestock also, and for the animals that are in your land, shall all its increase be for food.

8. “‘You shall count off seven Sabbaths of years, seven times seven years; and there shall be to you the days of seven Sabbaths of years, even forty-nine years.

9. Then you shall sound the loud shofar on the tenth day of the seventh month. On the Day of Atonement you shall sound the shofar throughout all your land.

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

11. That fiftieth year shall be a jubilee to you. In it you shall not sow, neither reap that which grows of itself, nor gather from the undressed vines.

12. For it is a jubilee; it shall be holy to you. You shall eat of its increase out of the field.

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

14. “‘If you sell anything to your neighbour, or buy from your neighbour, you shall not wrong one another.

15. According to the number of years after the Jubilee you shall buy from your neighbour. According to the number of years of the crops he shall sell to you.

16. According to the length of the years you shall increase its price, and according to the shortness of the years you shall diminish its price; for he is selling the number of the crops to you.

17. You shall not wrong one another, but you shall fear your God; for I am the Lord your God.

18. “‘Therefore you shall do my statutes, and keep my ordinances and do them; and you shall dwell in the land in safety.

19. The land shall yield its fruit, and you shall eat your fill, and dwell therein in safety.

20. If you said, “What shall we eat the seventh year? Behold, we shall not sow, nor gather in our increase;”

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