The Year of Jubilee
8“You shall count seven weeks ▼▼Or Sabbaths
of years, seven times seven years, so that the time of the seven weeks of years shall give you forty-nine years. 9Then you shall sound bthe loud trumpet on the tenth day of the seventh month. cOn the Day of Atonement you shall sound the trumpet throughout all your land. 10And you shall consecrate the fiftieth year, and dproclaim liberty throughout the land to all its inhabitants. It shall be a jubilee for you, when each of you shall return to his property and each of eyou shall return to his clan. 11That fiftieth year shall be a jubilee for you; in it fyou shall neither sow nor reap gwhat grows of itself nor gather the grapes from the undressed vines. 12For it is a jubilee. It shall be holy to you. hYou may eat the produce of the field. ▼▼Or countryside
13 j“In this year of jubilee each of you shall return to his property. 14And if you make a sale to your neighbor or buy from your neighbor, kyou shall not wrong one another. 15 lYou shall pay your neighbor according to the number of years after the jubilee, and he shall sell to you according to the number of years for crops. 16If the years are many, you shall increase the price, and if the years are few, you shall reduce the price, for it is the number of the crops that he is selling to you. 17 mYou shall not wrong one another, but you shall fear your God, for I am the Lord your God.
18 n“Therefore you shall do my statutes and keep my rules and perform them, and then oyou will dwell in the land securely. 19 pThe land will yield its fruit, and qyou will eat your fill rand dwell in it securely.
