Leviticus 25:5-14 English Standard Version (ESV)

5. You shall not reap what grows of itself in your harvest, or gather the grapes of your undressed vine. It shall be a year of solemn rest for the land.

6. The Sabbath of the land shall provide food for you, for yourself and for your male and female slaves and for your hired worker and the sojourner who lives with you,

7. and for your cattle and for the wild animals that are in your land: all its yield shall be for food.

8. “You shall count seven weeks of years, seven times seven years, so that the time of the seven weeks of years shall give you forty-nine years.

9. Then you shall sound the loud trumpet on the tenth day of the seventh month. On the Day of Atonement you shall sound the trumpet throughout all your land.

10. And you shall consecrate the fiftieth year, and 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 you shall return to his clan.

11. That fiftieth year shall be a jubilee for you; in it you shall neither sow nor reap what grows of itself nor gather the grapes from the undressed vines.

12. For it is a jubilee. It shall be holy to you. You may eat the produce of the field.

13. “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, you shall not wrong one another.
