Leviticus 25:1-22

[1] And the LORD  spake  unto Moses  in mount  Sinai,  saying,  [2] Speak  unto the children  of Israel,  and say  unto them, When ye come  into the land  which I give  you, then shall the land  keep  a sabbath  unto the LORD.  [3] Six  years  thou shalt sow  thy field,  and six  years  thou shalt prune  thy vineyard,  and gather  in the fruit  [4] But in the seventh  year  shall be a sabbath  of rest  unto the land,  a sabbath  for the LORD:  thou shalt neither sow  thy field,  nor prune  thy vineyard.  [5] That which groweth of its own accord  of thy harvest  thou shalt not reap,  neither gather  the grapes  of thy vine undressed:  for it is a year  of rest  unto the land.  [6] And the sabbath  of the land  shall be meat  for you; for thee, and for thy servant,  and for thy maid,  and for thy hired servant,  and for thy stranger  that sojourneth  with thee, [7] And for thy cattle,  and for the beast  that are in thy land,  shall all the increase  thereof be meat.  [8] And thou shalt number  seven  sabbaths  of years  unto thee, seven  times  seven  years;  and the space  of the seven  sabbaths  of years  shall be unto thee forty  and nine  years.  [9] Then shalt thou cause the trumpet  of the jubile  to sound  on the tenth  day of the seventh  month,  in the day  of atonement  shall ye make the trumpet  sound  throughout all your land.  [10] And ye shall hallow  the fiftieth  year,  and proclaim  liberty  throughout all 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 thy vine undressed.  [12] For it is the jubile;  it shall be holy  unto you: ye shall eat  the increase  thereof out of the field.  [13] In the year  of this jubile  ye shall return  every man  unto his possession.  [14] And if thou sell  ought  unto thy neighbour,  or buyest  ought of thy neighbour's  hand,  ye shall not oppress  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 fruits  he shall sell  unto thee: [16] According  to the multitude  of years  thou shalt increase  the price  thereof, and according  to the fewness  of years  thou shalt diminish  the price  of it: for according to the number  of the years of the fruits  doth he sell  unto thee. [17] Ye shall not therefore oppress  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 three  years.  [22] And ye shall sow  the eighth  year,  and eat  yet of old  fruit  until the ninth  year;  until her fruits  come in  ye shall eat  of the old
