Jubilee Bible

Leviticus 25:5-19 Jubilee Bible (JUB)

5. That 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.

6. But 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

7. and for thy beast and for the animals that are in thy land shall all the fruit thereof be 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.

9. Then 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.

10. And 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.

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.

12. For it is the jubilee; it shall be holy unto you; ye shall eat the fruit of the land.

13. In this year of jubilee ye shall return each one unto his possession.

14. And if thou sell anything unto thy neighbour or buy anything of thy neighbour’s hand, ye shall not oppress one another.

15. According 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.

16. According 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.

17. Ye shall not therefore oppress one another; but thou shalt fear thy God; for I am the Lord your God.

18. Execute, therefore, my statutes and keep my rights and do them; and ye shall dwell in the land in safety;

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