* And the Lord spoke unto Moses on mount Sinai , saying , * Speak unto the children of Israel , and say unto them , When ye come into the land which I give unto you ; then shall the land keep a sabbath unto the Lord . * Six years shalt thou sow thy field , and six years shalt thou prune thy vineyard , and gather in the fruit thereof ; * But in the seventh year there shall be a sabbath of rest unto the land , a sabbath of the Lord : thy field shalt thou not sow , and thy vineyard shalt thou not prune . * That which groweth of its own accord of thy harvest shalt thou not reap , and the grapes of thy undressed vine shalt thou not gather : a year of rest shall it be unto the land . * And the sabbath of the land shall be unto you for food , for thee , and for thy man –servant , and for thy maid –servant , and for thy hired laborer , and for thy stranger , that sojourn with thee ; * And for thy cattle , and for the beasts that are in thy land , shall all its products be for food . * And thou shalt number unto thee seven sabbaths of years , seven years seven times ; and the space of the seven sabbaths of years shall be unto thee forty and nine years . * And then shalt thou cause the sound of the cornet to be heard , in the seventh month , on the tenth day of the month : on the day of atonement shall ye sound the cornet throughout all your land . * And ye shall hallow the fiftieth year , and proclaim freedom 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 . * A jubilee shall this , the fiftieth year , be unto you : ye shall not sow , nor reap that which groweth of itself in it , nor gather in it the fruit of the undressed vines . * For it is the jubilee ; holy shall it be unto you : from the field shall ye eat the products thereof . * In this year of the jubilee shall ye return , every man , unto his possession . * And if thou sell aught unto thy neighbor , or buy aught of thy neighbor ’s hand , ye shall not overreach one the other ; * According to the number of years after the jubilee shalt thou buy of thy neighbor , according unto the number of harvest –years shall he sell unto thee ; * According to the multitude of years shalt thou increase the price thereof , and according to the fewness of years shalt thou diminish the price thereof ; for a number of harvests doth he sell unto thee . * And ye shall not overreach one the other ; but thou shalt be afraid of thy God ; for I am the Lord your God . * And ye shall do my statutes , and my ordinances shall ye keep and do them ; and then shall ye dwell in the land in safety . * And the land shall yield its fruit , and ye shall eat your fill , and dwell in safety therein . * And if ye should say , What shall we eat in the seventh year ? behold , we are not permitted to sow , and we cannot gather in our harvest : * Then will I command my blessing unto you in the sixth year , and it shall bring forth a harvest for three years . * And when ye sow in the eighth year , then shall ye eat yet of the old harvest ; until the ninth year , until its harvest come in , shall ye eat of the old store . * And the land shall not be sold for a permanence ; for the land is mine ; for strangers and sojourners are ye with me . * And in all the land of your possession ye shall grant a redemption for the land .
