Leviticus 25:10-17

The Year of Jubilee

10 And you shall consecrate the fiftieth year, and c proclaim 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 d you shall return to his clan. 11 That fiftieth year shall be a jubilee for you; in it e you shall neither sow nor reap y what grows of itself nor gather the grapes from the undressed vines. 12 For it is a jubilee. It shall be holy to you. f You may eat the produce of the field. 1

13 d "In this year of jubilee each of you shall return to his property. 14 And if you make a sale to your neighbor or buy from your neighbor, g you shall not wrong one another. 15 h You 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. 16 If 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 i You shall not wrong one another, but you shall fear your God, for I am the Lord your God.
