1 ¶ And the LORD spoke unto Moses in Mount Sinai, saying,

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

2 S peak unto the sons of Israel and say unto them, When ye have come into the land which I give you, then shall the land keep a sabbath unto the LORD.

`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 fruit thereof,

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

4 b ut the seventh year the land shall have a sabbath of rest, a sabbath unto the LORD: 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 grows of its own accord in thy land that was harvested, thou shalt not reap; neither fence in the grapes of thy consecrated vine; for it is a year of rest unto 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 B ut the sabbath of the land shall be food for you, for thee and for thy slave and for thy maid and for thy hired servant and for thy stranger that sojourns 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 beast and for the animals that are in thy land shall all the fruit thereof be food.

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

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-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 cause the shofar to sound an alarm on the tenth day of the seventh month; in the day of the reconciliations shall ye cause the shofar to sound 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 sanctify the fiftieth year and proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof; it shall be a jubilee unto you; and ye shall return every one unto his possession, and ye shall return each one 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 nor reap that which grows of itself in it nor fence in thy consecrated vine.

`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 the jubilee; it shall be holy unto you; ye shall eat the fruit of the land.

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 each one unto his possession.

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

14 A nd if thou sell anything unto thy neighbour or buy anything of thy neighbour’s hand, ye shall not oppress 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 neighbour, and according unto the number of years of the fruits 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 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 does 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 Y e shall not therefore oppress one another; but thou shalt fear thy God; for I am the LORD your God.

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

18 E xecute, therefore, my statutes and keep my rights 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 her 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 fruits,

`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 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 yet of old fruit; until the ninth year, until her fruits come in ye shall eat of 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 ¶ The land shall not be sold for ever, 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 T herefore, 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 becomes poor and has sold away some of his possession, his redeemer shall come, his closest kinsman, and shall redeem that which his brother 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 when the man has no redeemer and is able to stretch forth his hand and find enough for his redemption,

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

27 t hen he shall count the years from the sale thereof and pay that which remains unto the man to whom he sold it; that he may 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 is not able to stretch forth his hand and find enough to return unto it, then that which is sold shall remain in the hand of the one that has bought it until the year of jubilee; and in the jubilee the land shall go out free, 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 sells a dwelling house in a walled city, then he may redeem it within a whole year after it is sold; within a full year may he redeem it.

`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 is not redeemed within the space of a full year, then the house that is in the walled city shall be established for ever to the one that bought it for his descendants; 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 counted as 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 otwithstanding the cities of the Levites and the houses of the cities of their possession, the Levites may 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 a man makes a purchase from the Levites, then the house that was sold and the city of his possession, shall go out in the year of jubilee; for the houses of the cities of the Levites are their possession among the sons 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 becomes poor and comes unto thee, then thou shalt receive him; as a stranger, or a sojourner, he shall 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 usury of him, or increase; but thou shalt have the fear of thy God, and thy brother shall 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 usury, nor lend him thy food for increase.

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

38 I AM 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 ¶ And when thy brother becomes poor, being with thee, and if he should sell himself unto thee, thou shalt not compel him to serve as a slave.

`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 and shall serve 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 he shall depart free from thy house, both he and his children with him, and shall return unto his own family, and unto the possession of his fathers shall he be restored.

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 belong to me, I brought them forth out of the land of Egypt; they shall not be sold as slaves.

`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 B oth thy menslaves and thy maidslaves, which thou shalt have, shall be of the Gentiles that are round about you; of them shall ye buy slaves.

`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 Y e may also buy of the children of the strangers that live among you and of those of their lineage that are born in your land, who are with you, 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 possess them as an inheritance for your children after you, to inherit as a possession; they shall be your bondmen for ever; but over your brethren, the sons of Israel, ye shall not rule over one 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 sojourner or stranger who is with thee becomes rich and thy brother who is with him becomes poor and sells himself unto the stranger or sojourner who is with thee or to the race of the lineage of the stranger,

`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 he is sold he shall have redemption; one of his brethren shall redeem him;

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

49 e ither his uncle or his uncle’s son shall redeem him; or any that is near of kin unto him of his lineage shall redeem him; or if he is able, 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 was sold to him unto the year of jubilee; and the price of his sale shall be according to the number of years, according to the time of a hired servant shall it 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 are yet many years, according unto them he shall give again 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 count with him, and according unto his years shall he give him again 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 nd as a yearly hired servant shall he be with him; and the other 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 is not redeemed in these years, then he shall go out in the year of jubilee, both 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 the sons of Israel are mine; they are my slaves whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt. I AM 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.
