1 A nd Jehovah spake unto Moses in mount Sinai, saying,

And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, in mount Sinai, saying,

2 S peak 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 Jehovah.

`Speak unto the sons of Israel, and thou hast said unto them, When ye come in unto the land which I am giving to you, then hath the land kept a sabbath to Jehovah.

3 S ix years thou shalt sow thy field, and six years thou shalt prune thy vineyard, and gather in the fruits thereof;

`Six years thou dost sow thy field, and six years thou dost prune thy vineyard, and hast gathered its increase,

4 b ut in the seventh year shall be a sabbath of solemn rest for the land, a sabbath unto Jehovah: thou shalt neither sow thy field, nor prune thy vineyard.

and in the seventh year a sabbath of rest is to the land, a sabbath to Jehovah; thy field thou dost not sow, and thy vineyard thou dost not prune;

5 T hat which groweth of itself of thy harvest thou shalt not reap, and the grapes of thy undressed vine thou shalt not gather: it shall be a year of solemn rest for the land.

the spontaneous growth of thy harvest thou dost not reap, and the grapes of thy separated thing thou dost not gather, a year of rest it is to the land.

6 A nd the sabbath of the land shall be for food for you; for thee, and for thy servant and for thy maid, and for thy hired servant and for thy stranger, who sojourn with thee.

`And the sabbath of the land hath been to you for food, to thee, and to thy man-servant, and to thy handmaid, and to thy hireling, and to thy settler, who are sojourning with thee;

7 A nd for thy cattle, and for the beasts that are in thy land, shall all the increase thereof be for food.

and to thy cattle, and to the beast which in thy land, is all thine increase for food.

8 A nd thou shalt number seven sabbaths of years unto thee, seven times seven years; and there shall be unto thee the days of seven sabbaths of years, even forty and nine years.

`And thou hast numbered to thee seven sabbaths of years, seven years seven times, and the days of the seven sabbaths of years have been to thee nine and forty years,

9 T hen shalt thou send abroad the loud trumpet on the tenth day of the seventh month; in the day of atonement shall ye send abroad the trumpet throughout all your land.

and thou hast caused a trumpet of shouting to pass over in the seventh month, in the tenth of the month; in the day of the atonements ye do cause a trumpet to pass over through all your land;

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

and ye have hallowed the year, the fiftieth year; and ye have proclaimed liberty in the land to all its inhabitants; a jubilee it is to you; and ye have turned back each unto his possession; yea, each unto his family ye do turn back.

11 A jubilee 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.

`A jubilee it, the fiftieth year, a year it is to you; ye sow not, nor reap its spontaneous growth, nor gather its separated things;

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

for a jubilee it, holy it is to you; out of the field ye eat its increase;

13 I n this year of jubilee ye shall return every man unto his possession.

in the year of this jubilee ye turn back each unto his possession.

14 A nd if thou sell aught unto thy neighbor, or buy of thy neighbor's hand, ye shall not wrong one another.

`And when thou sellest anything to thy fellow, or buyest from the hand of thy fellow, ye do not oppress one another;

15 A ccording to the number of years after the jubilee thou shalt buy of thy neighbor, and according unto the number of years of the crops he shall sell unto thee.

by the number of years after the jubilee thou dost buy from thy fellow; by the number of the years of increase he doth sell to thee;

16 A ccording 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.

according to the multitude of the years thou dost multiply its price, and according to the fewness of the years thou dost diminish its price; for a number of increases he is selling to thee;

17 A nd ye shall not wrong one another; but thou shalt fear thy God: for I am Jehovah your God.

and ye do not oppress one another, and thou hast been afraid of thy God; for I Jehovah your God.

18 W herefore ye shall do my statutes, and keep mine ordinances and do them; and ye shall dwell in the land in safety.

`And ye have done My statutes, and My judgments ye keep, and have done them, and ye have dwelt on the land confidently,

19 A nd the land shall yield its fruit, and ye shall eat your fill, and dwell therein in safety.

and the land hath given its fruit, and ye have eaten to satiety, and have dwelt confidently on it.

20 A nd if ye shall say, What shall we eat the seventh year? Behold, we shall not sow, nor gather in our increase;

`And when ye say, What do we eat in the seventh year, lo, we do not sow, nor gather our increase?

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

then I have commanded My blessing on you in the sixth year, and it hath made the increase for three years;

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

and ye have sown the eighth year, and have eaten of the old increase; until the ninth year, until the coming in of its increase, ye do eat the old.

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

`And the land is not sold -- to extinction, for the land Mine, for sojourners and settlers ye with Me;

24 A nd in all the land of your possession ye shall grant a redemption for the land.

and in all the land of your possession a redemption ye do give to the land.

25 I f thy brother be waxed poor, and sell some of his possession, then shall his kinsman that is next unto him come, and shall redeem that which his brother hath sold.

`When thy brother becometh poor, and hath sold his possession, then hath his redeemer who is near unto him come, and he hath redeemed the sold thing of his brother;

26 A nd if a man have no one to redeem it, and he be waxed rich and find sufficient to redeem it;

and when a man hath no redeemer, and his own hand hath attained, and he hath found as sufficient its redemption,

27 t hen let him reckon the years of the sale thereof, and restore the overplus unto the man to whom he sold it; and he shall return unto his possession.

then he hath reckoned the years of its sale, and hath given back that which is over to the man to whom he sold, and he hath returned to his possession.

28 B ut if he be not able to get it back for himself, then that which he hath sold shall remain in the hand of him that hath bought it until the year of jubilee: and in the jubilee it shall go out, and he shall return unto his possession.

`And if his hand hath not found sufficiency to give back to him, then hath his sold thing been in the hand of him who buyeth it till the year of jubilee; and it hath gone out in the jubilee, and he hath returned to his possession.

29 A nd if a man sell a dwelling-house in a walled city, then he may redeem it within a whole year after it is sold; for a full year shall he have the right of redemption.

`And when a man selleth a dwelling-house a walled city, then hath his right of redemption been until the completion of a year from its selling; days -- is his right of redemption;

30 A nd if it be not redeemed within the space of a full year, then the house that is in the walled city shall be made sure in perpetuity to him that bought it, throughout his generations: it shall not go out in the jubilee.

and if it is not redeemed until the fulness to him of a perfect year, then hath the house which in a walled city been established to extinction to the buyer of it, to his generations; it goeth not out in the jubilee;

31 B ut the houses of the villages which have no wall round about them shall be reckoned with the fields of the country: they may be redeemed, and they shall go out in the jubilee.

and a house of the villages which have no wall round about, on the field of the country is reckoned; redemption is to it, and in the jubilee it goeth out.

32 N evertheless the cities of the Levites, the houses of the cities of their possession, may the Levites redeem at any time.

`As to cities of the Levites -- houses of the cities of their possession -- redemption age-during is to the Levites;

33 A nd if one of the Levites redeem, then the house that was sold, and the city of his possession, shall go out in the jubilee; for the houses of the cities of the Levites are their possession among the children of Israel.

as to him who redeemeth from the Levites, both the sale of a house and the city of his possession have gone out in the jubilee, for the houses of the cities of the Levites are their possession in the midst of the sons of Israel.

34 B ut the field of the suburbs of their cities may not be sold; for it is their perpetual possession.

And a field, a suburb of their cities, is not sold; for a possession age-during it to them.

35 A nd if thy brother be waxed poor, and his hand fail with thee; then thou shalt uphold him: as a stranger and a sojourner shall he live with thee.

`And when thy brother is become poor, and his hand hath failed with thee, then thou hast kept hold on him, sojourner and settler, and he hath lived with thee;

36 T ake thou no interest of him or increase, but fear thy God; that thy brother may live with thee.

thou takest no usury from him, or increase; and thou hast been afraid of thy God; and thy brother hath lived with thee;

37 T hou shalt not give him thy money upon interest, nor give him thy victuals for increase.

thy money thou givest not to him in usury, and for increase thou givest not thy food;

38 I am Jehovah your God, who brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, to give you the land of Canaan, and to be your God.

I Jehovah your God, who hath brought you out of the land of Egypt, to give to you the land of Canaan, to become your God.

39 A nd if thy brother be waxed poor with thee, and sell himself unto thee; thou shalt not make him to serve as a bond-servant.

`And when thy brother becometh poor with thee, and he hath been sold to thee, thou dost not lay on him servile service;

40 A s a hired servant, and as a sojourner, he shall be with thee; he shall serve with thee unto the year of jubilee:

as an hireling, as a settler, he is with thee, till the year of the jubilee he doth serve with thee, --

41 t hen shall he go out from thee, he and his children with him, and shall return unto his own family, and unto the possession of his fathers shall he return.

then he hath gone out from thee, he and his sons with him, and hath turned back unto his family; even unto the possession of his fathers he doth turn back.

42 F or they are my servants, whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt: they shall not be sold as bondmen.

`For they My servants, whom I have brought out from the land of Egypt: they are not sold the sale of a servant;

43 T hou shalt not rule over him with rigor, but shalt fear thy God.

thou rulest not over him with rigour, and thou hast been afraid of thy God.

44 A nd as for thy bondmen, and thy bondmaids, whom thou shalt have; of the nations that are round about you, of them shall ye buy bondmen and bondmaids.

`And thy man-servant and thy handmaid whom thou hast of the nations who round about you; of them ye buy man-servant and handmaid,

45 M oreover of the children of the strangers that sojourn among you, of them shall ye buy, and of their families that are with you, which they have begotten in your land: and they shall be your possession.

and also of the sons of the settlers who are sojourning with you, of them ye buy, and of their families who with you, which they have begotten in your land, and they have been to you for a possession;

46 A nd ye shall make them an inheritance for your children after you, to hold for a possession; of them shall ye take your bondmen for ever: but over your brethren the children of Israel ye shall not rule, one over another, with rigor.

and ye have taken them for inheritance to your sons after you, to occupy a possession; to the age ye lay service upon them, but upon your brethren, the sons of Israel, one with another, thou dost not rule over him with rigour.

47 A nd if a stranger or sojourner with thee be waxed rich, and thy brother be waxed poor beside him, and sell himself unto the stranger or sojourner with thee, or to the stock of the stranger's family;

`And when the hand of a sojourner or settler with thee attaineth, and thy brother with him hath become poor, and he hath been sold to a sojourner, a settler with thee, or to the root of the family of a sojourner,

48 a fter that he is sold he may be redeemed: one of his brethren may redeem him;

after he hath been sold, there is a right of redemption to him; one of his brethren doth redeem him,

49 o r his uncle, or his uncle's son, may redeem him, or any that is nigh of kin unto him of his family may redeem him; or if he be waxed rich, he may redeem himself.

or his uncle, or a son of his uncle, doth redeem him, or any of the relations of his flesh, of his family, doth redeem him, or -- his own hand hath attained -- then he hath been redeemed.

50 A nd he shall reckon with him that bought him from the year that he sold himself to him unto the year of jubilee: and the price of his sale shall be according unto the number of years; according to the time of a hired servant shall he be with him.

`And he hath reckoned with his buyer from the year of his being sold to him till the year of jubilee, and the money of his sale hath been by the number of years; as the days of an hireling it is with him.

51 I f there be yet many years, according unto them he shall give back the price of his redemption out of the money that he was bought for.

`If yet many years, according to them he giveth back his redemption, from the money of his purchase.

52 A nd if there remain but few years unto the year of jubilee, then he shall reckon with him; according unto his years shall he give back the price of his redemption.

`And if few are left of the years till the year of jubilee, then he hath reckoned with him, according to his years he doth give back his redemption;

53 A s a servant hired year by year shall he be with him: he shall not rule with rigor over him in thy sight.

as an hireling, year by year, he is with him, and he doth not rule him with rigour before thine eyes.

54 A nd if he be not redeemed by these means, then he shall go out in the year of jubilee, he, and his children with him.

`And if he is not redeemed in these, then he hath gone out in the year of jubilee, he and his sons with him.

55 F or unto me the children of Israel are servants; they are my servants whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt: I am Jehovah your God.

For to Me the sons of Israel servants; My servants they, whom I have brought out of the land of Egypt; I, Jehovah, your God.
