International Standard Version

1Then the LORD said to Moses on Mount Sinai,

1The LORD told Moses on Mount Sinai,

2“Speak to the Israelites and say to them: When you enter the land that I am giving you, the land itself must observe a Sabbath to the LORD.

2"Tell the Israelis that when you enter the land that I'm about to give you, you are to let the land observe a Sabbath to the LORD.

3For six years you may sow your field and prune your vineyard and gather its crops.

3For six years you may plant your fields, and for six years you may prune your vineyard and gather its produce.

4But in the seventh year there shall be a Sabbath of complete rest for the land—a Sabbath to the LORD. You are not to sow your field or prune your vineyard.

4But the seventh year is to be a Sabbath of rest for the land—a Sabbath for the LORD. You are not to plant your field or prune your vineyard.

5You are not to reap the aftergrowth of your harvest or gather the grapes of your untended vines. The land must have a year of complete rest.

5You are not to gather what grows from the spilled kernels of your crops. You are not to pick the grapes of your untrimmed vines. Let it be a year of Sabbath for the land.

6Whatever the land yields during the Sabbath year shall be food for you—for yourself, your manservant and maidservant, the hired hand or foreigner who stays with you,

6You may take the Sabbath produce of the land for your food—you, your male and maid servants, your hired laborers, and the resident alien with you.

7and for your livestock and the wild animals in your land. All its growth may serve as food.

7The cattle and the wild animals in your land—everything it produces—are for your food.

8And you shall count off seven Sabbaths of years—seven times seven years—so that the seven Sabbaths of years amount to forty-nine years.

8"Count for yourselves seven years of Sabbaths—seven times seven years. This set of seven weeks of years total 49 years for you.

9Then you are to sound the horn far and wide on the tenth day of the seventh month, the Day of Atonement. You shall sound it throughout your land.

9Sound a horn on the tenth day of the seventh month of this fiftieth year. Likewise, on the Day of Atonement, sound the horn throughout your land.

10So you are to consecrate the fiftieth year and proclaim liberty in the land for all its inhabitants. It shall be your Jubilee, when each of you is to return to his property and to his clan.

10Set aside and consecrate the fiftieth year to declare liberty throughout the land for all of its inhabitants. It is to be a jubilee for you. Every person is to return to his own land that he has inherited. Likewise, every person is to return to his tribe.

11The fiftieth year will be a Jubilee for you; you are not to sow the land or reap its aftergrowth or harvest the untended vines.

11The fiftieth year is to be a year of jubilee for you. You are not to sow or harvest the spilled kernels that grow of themselves or pick grapes from the untrimmed vines

12For it is a Jubilee; it shall be holy to you. You may eat only the crops taken directly from the field.

12because it's the jubilee—it's sacred for you. But you may eat its produce from the field.

13In this Year of Jubilee, each of you shall return to his own property.

13"During this year of jubilee, each person is to return to his own land that he has inherited.

14If you make a sale to your neighbor or a purchase from him, you must not take advantage of each other.

14So if you had sold property to a neighbor or had acquired land from your neighbor, you are not to cheat one another.

15You are to buy from your neighbor according to the number of years since the last Jubilee; he is to sell to you according to the number of harvest years remaining.

15According to the number of years after the jubilee, you may buy from your neighbor. And according to the number of years with crops, he may sell to you.

16You shall increase the price in proportion to a greater number of years, or decrease it in proportion to a lesser number of years; for he is selling you a given number of harvests.

16If the number of years after the jubilee is more, increase the selling price. If the number of years after the jubilee is few, decrease its selling price, because he's selling to you according to the potential production volume of the land.

17Do not take advantage of each other, but fear your God; for I am the LORD your God.

17No one is to cheat his neighbor. Instead, you are to fear your God, because I am the LORD your God.

18You are to keep My statutes and carefully observe My judgments, so that you may dwell securely in the land.

18"Observe my statutes and keep my ordinances. Do them so that you may live securely in the land.

19Then the land will yield its fruit, so that you can eat your fill and dwell in safety in the land.

19Then the land will yield its fruit and you'll eat to your satisfaction and live securely.

20Now you may wonder, ‘What will we eat in the seventh year if we do not sow or gather our produce?’

20"Now if you ask, 'What will we eat during the seventh year? After all, we may not plant or even gather our produce!'

21But I will send My blessing upon you in the sixth year, so that the land will yield a crop sufficient for three years.

21I'll command my blessing on you during the sixth year so that it will yield produce for three years!

22While you are sowing in the eighth year, you will be eating from the previous harvest, until the ninth year’s harvest comes in.

22That way, you are to sow in the eighth year, eating the produce from the old harvest. Until the ninth year when its produce comes in, you'll eat from the old harvest."

23The land must not be sold permanently, because it is Mine, and you are but foreigners and residents with Me.

23"The land is not to be sold with any finality, because the land belongs to me. You're sojourners and travelers with me.

24Thus for every piece of property you possess, you must provide for the redemption of the land.

24So throughout all of your land inheritance, grant the right of redemption for the land.

25If your brother becomes impoverished and sells some of his property, his nearest of kin may come and redeem what his brother has sold.

25"If your brother becomes so poor that he has to a sell portion of his inheritance, then his nearest kinsman redeemer is to come and redeem what his brother has sold.

26Or if a man has no one to redeem it for him, but he prospers and acquires enough to redeem his land,

26If a person doesn't have a kinsman redeemer, but has become rich and found sufficient means for his redemption,

27he shall calculate the years since its sale, repay the balance to the man to whom he sold it, and return to his property.

27then let him account for the years for which it was sold, return the excess to the person to whom it was sold, and then return to his property.

28But if he cannot obtain enough to repay him, what he sold will remain in possession of the buyer until the Year of Jubilee. In the Jubilee, however, it is to be released, so that he may return to his property.

28If he's not able to redeem it back for himself, then what he sold is to remain in the hand of the buyer until the year of jubilee. In the jubilee, it is to be returned so he may return to his property.

29If a man sells a house in a walled city, he retains his right of redemption until a full year after its sale; during that year it may be redeemed.

29"If a person sells a residential house in a walled city, he is to redeem it within the year in which it was sold. He may have right to its redemption for a full year.

30If it is not redeemed by the end of a full year, then the house in the walled city is permanently transferred to its buyer and his descendants. It is not to be released in the Jubilee.

30But if it's not redeemed by the end of a full year, then the house next to which is a wall is to belong in perpetuity to the one who bought it throughout his generations. It is not to be returned in the jubilee.

31But houses in villages with no walls around them are to be considered as open fields. They may be redeemed, and they shall be released in the Jubilee.

31However, the houses in the villages that don't have walls around them are to be categorized along with the fields of the land—they may be redeemed and returned in the jubilee.

32As for the cities of the Levites, the Levites always have the right to redeem their houses in the cities they possess.

32Nevertheless, the cities that belong to the descendants of Levi—that is, the houses in the cities that belong to them—are to belong to the descendants of Levi perpetually as part of their right of redemption.

33So whatever belongs to the Levites may be redeemed—a house sold in a city they possess—and must be released in the Jubilee, because the houses in the cities of the Levites are their possession among the Israelites.

33If someone from the descendants of Levi redeems the houses in the cities that they own, they are to be returned in the jubilee, because the houses of the cities of the descendants of Levi are to remain their property among the Israelis.

34But the open pastureland around their cities may not be sold, for this is their permanent possession.

34Also, the open land of their cities is not to be sold, because it is to remain their perpetual inheritance."

35Now if your countryman becomes destitute and cannot support himself among you, then you are to help him as you would a foreigner or stranger, so that he can continue to live among you.

35"If your relative becomes so poor that he is indebted to you, then you are to support him. You are to let him live with you just like the resident alien and the traveler.

36Do not take any interest or profit from him, but fear your God, that your countryman may live among you.

36You are not to take interest or profit from him. Instead, you are to fear your God and let your relative live with you.

37You must not lend him your silver at interest or sell him your food for profit.

37You are not to loan him money with interest or sell him your food at a profit.

38I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt to give you the land of Canaan and to be your God.

39If a countryman among you becomes destitute and sells himself to you, then you must not force him into slave labor.

39"If your brother with you becomes so poor that he sells himself to you, you are not to make him serve like a bond slave.

40Let him stay with you as a hired worker or temporary resident; he is to work for you until the Year of Jubilee.

40Instead, he is to serve with you like a hired servant or a traveler who lives with you, until the year of jubilee.

41Then he and his children are to be released, and he may return to his clan and to the property of his fathers.

41Then he and his children with him may leave to return to his family and his ancestor's inheritance.

42Because the Israelites are My servants, whom I brought out of the land of Egypt, they are not to be sold as slaves.

42Since they're my servants whom I've brought out of the land of Egypt, they are not to be sold as slaves.

43You are not to rule over them harshly, but you shall fear your God.

43You are not to rule over them with harshness. You are to fear your God."

44Your menservants and maidservants shall come from the nations around you, from whom you may purchase them.

44"As for your male and maid slaves who will be with you, you may buy male and female slaves from among the nations.

45You may also purchase them from the foreigners residing among you or their clans living among you who are born in your land. These may become your property.

45You may also buy from resident aliens who live among you and their families who are with you, whom they fathered in your land. They may become your property.

46You may leave them to your sons after you to inherit as property; you can make them slaves for life. But as for your brothers, the Israelites, no man may rule harshly over his brother.

46You may give them as inherited property to your children after you, to own as properties in perpetuity. You may make bond slaves of them, but no one is to rule over his fellow Israeli with harshness.

47If a foreigner residing among you prospers, but your countryman dwelling near him becomes destitute and sells himself to the foreigner or to a member of his clan,

47"If a resident alien or traveler becomes rich, but your relative who lives next to him is so poor that he sells himself to that resident alien or traveler among you or to a member of the resident alien's family,

48he retains the right of redemption after he has sold himself. One of his brothers may redeem him:

48he has the right to be redeemed after he sells himself. One of his brothers may redeem him.

49either his uncle or cousin or any close relative from his clan may redeem him. Or if he prospers, he may redeem himself.

49His uncle or his uncle's son may redeem him or any blood relative from his tribe may redeem him. If he becomes rich, then he may redeem himself.

50He and his purchaser will then count the time from the year he sold himself up to the Year of Jubilee. The price of his sale will be determined by the number of years, based on the daily wages of a hired hand.

50"He is to bring an accounting to the one who bought him, starting from the year he had sold himself until the year of jubilee. The price of his sale is to correspond to the number of years comparable to the time a hired servant stays with him.

51If many years remain, he must pay for his redemption in proportion to his purchase price.

51If there are still many years left, he is to refund the cost of his redemption.

52If only a few years remain until the Year of Jubilee, he is to calculate and pay his redemption according to his remaining years.

52But if only a few years are left until the year of jubilee, he is to bring an accounting of the years that he is to refund for his redemption.

53He shall be treated like a man hired from year to year, but a foreign owner must not rule over him harshly in your sight.

53Like a hired servant, he is to remain with him year after year, but he is not to rule over him with what you see as severity.

54Even if he is not redeemed in any of these ways, he and his children shall be released in the Year of Jubilee.

54If he isn't redeemed by these, then he is to be set free in the year of jubilee—he and his children with him—

55For the Israelites are My servants. They are My servants, whom I brought out of the land of Egypt. I am the LORD your God.

55because the Israelis are my servants. They're my servants, since I brought them out of the land of Egypt. I am the LORD your God."
