Leviticus:25:2-12

*
Speak unto the children of Israel ,
and say unto them ,
When ye come into the land which I give you ,
then shall the land keep a sabbath unto the LORD .
*
Six years thou shalt sow thy field ,
and six years thou shalt prune thy vineyard ,
and gather in the fruit thereof ;
*
But in the seventh year shall be a sabbath of rest unto the land ,
a sabbath for the LORD :
thou shalt neither sow thy field ,
nor prune thy vineyard .
*
That which groweth of its own accord of thy harvest thou shalt not reap ,
neither gather the grapes of thy vine undressed :
for it is a year of rest unto the land .
*
And the sabbath of the land shall be meat for you ;
for thee ,
and for thy servant ,
and for thy maid ,
and for thy hired servant ,
and for thy stranger that sojourneth with thee ,
*
And for thy cattle ,
and for the beast that are in thy land ,
shall all the increase thereof be meat .
*
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 and nine years .
*
Then shalt thou cause the trumpet of the jubile to sound on the tenth day of the seventh month ,
in the day of atonement shall ye make the trumpet sound throughout all your land .
*
And ye shall hallow the fiftieth year ,
and proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof :
it shall be a jubile unto you ;
and ye shall return every man unto his possession ,
and ye shall return every man unto his family .
*
A jubile shall that fiftieth year be unto you :
ye shall not sow ,
neither reap that which groweth of itself in it ,
nor gather the grapes in it of thy vine undressed .
*
For it is the jubile ;
it shall be holy unto you :
ye shall eat the increase thereof out of the field .
