	BISHOPS Bishops' Bible of 1568	ESV English Standard Version	NIV New International Version
1	And the Lorde spake vnto Moyses in mout Sinai, saying:	The LORD spoke to Moses on Mount Sinai, saying,	The LORD said to Moses at Mount Sinai,
2	Speake vnto the children of Israel, and say vnto them: When ye be come into ye lande which I geue you, the lande shall rest and kepe Sabbath vnto the Lorde.	“Speak to the people of Israel and say to them, When you come into the land that I give you, the land shall keep a Sabbath to the LORD.	“Speak to the Israelites and say to them: ‘When you enter the land I am going to give you, the land itself must observe a sabbath to the LORD.
3	Sixe yeres thou shalt sowe thy fielde, and sixe yeres thou shalt cut thy vineyarde, and gather in the fruite therof.	For six years you shall sow your field, and for six years you shall prune your vineyard and gather in its fruits,	For six years sow your fields, and for six years prune your vineyards and gather their crops.
4	But the seuenth yere shalbe a Sabbath of rest vnto the lande, the Lordes Sabbath it shalbe: thou shalt neither sowe thy fielde, nor cut thy vineyarde.	but in the seventh year there shall be a Sabbath of solemn rest for the land, a Sabbath to the LORD. You shall not sow your field or prune your vineyard.	But in the seventh year the land is to have a year of sabbath rest, a sabbath to the LORD. Do not sow your fields or prune your vineyards.
5	That which groweth of the owne accorde of thy haruest, thou shalt not reape, neither gather the grapes that thou hast left behynde: for it is a yere of rest vnto the lande.	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.	Do not reap what grows of itself or harvest the grapes of your untended vines. The land is to have a year of rest.
6	And the rest of the lande shalbe meate for you, euen for thee, for thy seruaunt, & for thy mayde, for thy hired seruaunt, and for the straunger that soiourneth with thee:	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,	Whatever the land yields during the sabbath year will be food for you—for yourself, your male and female servants, and the hired worker and temporary resident who live among you,
7	And for thy cattell, and for the beastes that are in thy lande, shall all the encrease therof be meate.	and for your cattle and for the wild animals that are in your land: all its yield shall be for food.	as well as for your livestock and the wild animals in your land. Whatever the land produces may be eaten.
8	And thou shalt number seuen Sabbathes of yeres vnto thee, euen seuen tymes seuen yere, and the space of the seuen Sabbathes of yeres wylbe vnto thee nine and fourtie yeres.	“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.	“’Count off seven sabbath years—seven times seven years—so that the seven sabbath years amount to a period of forty-nine years.
9	And then thou shalt cause to blowe the trumpet of the Iubilee in the tenth day of the seuenth moneth, euen in ye day of attonement shal ye make the trumpe blowe throughout all your lande.	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.	Then have the trumpet sounded everywhere on the tenth day of the seventh month; on the Day of Atonement sound the trumpet throughout your land.
10	And ye shall halowe that yere, euen the fiftieth yere, and proclayme libertie throughout all the lande vnto all the inhabiters thereof: for it shalbe a Iubilee vnto you, and ye shall returne euery man vnto his possession, and euery man vnto his kinred agayne.	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.	Consecrate the fiftieth year and proclaim liberty throughout the land to all its inhabitants. It shall be a jubilee for you; each of you is to return to your family property and to your own clan.
11	A yere of Iubilee shal that fiftieth yere be vnto you: Ye shall not sowe, neither reape that which groweth of it selfe, neither gather the grapes that are left:	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.	The fiftieth year shall be a jubilee for you; do not sow and do not reap what grows of itself or harvest the untended vines.
12	For that yere of Iubilee shalbe holy vnto you: but ye shall eate of the encrease therof out of the fielde.	For it is a jubilee. It shall be holy to you. You may eat the produce of the field.	For it is a jubilee and is to be holy for you; eat only what is taken directly from the fields.
13	In the yere of this Iubilee ye shall returne euery man vnto his possession agayne.	“In this year of jubilee each of you shall return to his property.	“’In this Year of Jubilee everyone is to return to their own property.
14	If thou sellest ought vnto thy neyghbour, or byest ought of thy neyghbours hande, ye shal not oppresse one another.	And if you make a sale to your neighbor or buy from your neighbor, you shall not wrong one another.	“’If you sell land to any of your own people or buy land from them, do not take advantage of each other.
15	But according to the number of yeres after the Iubilee yere thou shalt bye of thy neighbour: and accordyng vnto the number of yeres of the fruites he shall sell vnto thee.	You shall pay your neighbor according to the number of years after the jubilee, and he shall sell to you according to the number of years for crops.	You are to buy from your own people on the basis of the number of years since the Jubilee. And they are to sell to you on the basis of the number of years left for harvesting crops.
16	According vnto the multitude of yeres he shall encrease the price therof, and according to the fewnesse of yeres, he shal minishe the price of it: for the number of fruites doth he sell vnto thee.	If the years are many, you shall increase the price, and if the years are few, you shall reduce the price, for it is the number of the crops that he is selling to you.	When the years are many, you are to increase the price, and when the years are few, you are to decrease the price, because what is really being sold to you is the number of crops.
17	Oppresse not ye therfore euery man his neighbour, but thou shalt feare thy God: For I am the Lorde your God.	You shall not wrong one another, but you shall fear your God, for I am the LORD your God.	Do not take advantage of each other, but fear your God. I am the LORD your God.
18	Wherfore ye shall do after myne ordinaunces, and kepe my lawes, and do them, and ye shall dwell in the lande in safetie.	“Therefore you shall do my statutes and keep my rules and perform them, and then you will dwell in the land securely.	“’Follow my decrees and be careful to obey my laws, and you will live safely in the land.
19	And the lande shall geue her fruite, and ye shall eate your fyll, and dwell therin in safetie.	The land will yield its fruit, and you will eat your fill and dwell in it securely.	Then the land will yield its fruit, and you will eat your fill and live there in safety.
20	And yf ye shall say, what shall we eate the seuenth yere? for we shall not sowe, nor gather in our increase:	And if you say, ‘What shall we eat in the seventh year, if we may not sow or gather in our crop?’	You may ask, “What will we eat in the seventh year if we do not plant or harvest our crops?”
21	I wyll sende my blessyng vpon you in the sixt yere, and it shall bryng foorth fruite for three yeres.	I will command my blessing on you in the sixth year, so that it will produce a crop sufficient for three years.	I will send you such a blessing in the sixth year that the land will yield enough for three years.
22	And ye shall sowe the eyght yere, and eate yet of olde fruite vntyll the ninth yere: euen vntill her fruites come ye shall eate of olde store.	When you sow in the eighth year, you will be eating some of the old crop; you shall eat the old until the ninth year, when its crop arrives.	While you plant during the eighth year, you will eat from the old crop and will continue to eat from it until the harvest of the ninth year comes in.
23	The lande shall not be solde to waste: for the lande is myne, & ye be but staungers and soiourners with me.	“The land shall not be sold in perpetuity, for the land is mine. For you are strangers and sojourners with me.	“’The land must not be sold permanently, because the land is mine and you reside in my land as foreigners and strangers.
24	In all the lande of your possession, ye shal graunt a redemption for ye lande.	And in all the country you possess, you shall allow a redemption of the land.	Throughout the land that you hold as a possession, you must provide for the redemption of the land.
25	If thy brother be waxed poore, and hath solde away of his possession, and yf any of his kinne come to redeeme it, let hym bye out that which his brother solde.	“If your brother becomes poor and sells part of his property, then his nearest redeemer shall come and redeem what his brother has sold.	“’If one of your fellow Israelites becomes poor and sells some of their property, their nearest relative is to come and redeem what they have sold.
26	And yf he haue no man to redeeme it, and his hande hath gotten and founde as much as may be sufficient to bye it out agayne:	If a man has no one to redeem it and then himself becomes prosperous and finds sufficient means to redeem it,	If, however, there is no one to redeem it for them but later on they prosper and acquire sufficient means to redeem it themselves,
27	The let hym count howe long it hath ben solde, and delyuer the rest vnto the man to whom he solde it, that he may returne to his possession agayne.	let him calculate the years since he sold it and pay back the balance to the man to whom he sold it, and then return to his property.	they are to determine the value for the years since they sold it and refund the balance to the one to whom they sold it; they can then go back to their own property.
28	But and yf his hande can not get sufficient to restore to the other agayne, the that which is solde shal remayne in the hande of hym that hath bought it, vntyll the yere of Iubilee: and in the Iubilee it shall come out, and he shall returne vnto his possession agayne.	But if he does not have sufficient means to recover it, then what he sold shall remain in the hand of the buyer until the year of jubilee. In the jubilee it shall be released, and he shall return to his property.	But if they do not acquire the means to repay, what was sold will remain in the possession of the buyer until the Year of Jubilee. It will be returned in the Jubilee, and they can then go back to their property.
29	And yf a man sell a dwellyng house in a walled citie, he may bye it out agayne within a whole yere after it is solde: within a yere may he redeeme it.	“If a man sells a dwelling house in a walled city, he may redeem it within a year of its sale. For a full year he shall have the right of redemption.	“’Anyone who sells a house in a walled city retains the right of redemption a full year after its sale. During that time the seller may redeem it.
30	But and yf he bye it not out agayne within the space of a full yere, then the house that is in the walled citie, shalbe stablished, as translated to hym that bought it and his successours after hym, & shall not go out in the Iubilee.	If it is not redeemed within a full year, then the house in the walled city shall belong in perpetuity to the buyer, throughout his generations; it shall not be released in the jubilee.	If it is not redeemed before a full year has passed, the house in the walled city shall belong permanently to the buyer and the buyer’s descendants. It is not to be returned in the Jubilee.
31	But the houses of vyllages, which haue no walles rounde about them, are counted as the fielde of the coutrey: and therefore they may be bought out agayne, and shal go out in the Iubilee.	But the houses of the villages that have no wall around them shall be classified with the fields of the land. They may be redeemed, and they shall be released in the jubilee.	But houses in villages without walls around them are to be considered as belonging to the open country. They can be redeemed, and they are to be returned in the Jubilee.
32	Notwithstandyng, the cities of the Leuites, and the houses of the cities of their possession, may the Leuites redeeme at all seasons.	As for the cities of the Levites, the Levites may redeem at any time the houses in the cities they possess.	“’The Levites always have the right to redeem their houses in the Levitical towns, which they possess.
33	And yf a man purchase of the Leuites, the house that was solde, and the citie of their possession, shall go out in the yere of Iubilee: for the houses of the cities of the Leuites, are their possession among the children of Israel.	And if one of the Levites exercises his right of redemption, then the house that was sold in a city they possess shall be released in the jubilee. For the houses in the cities of the Levites are their possession among the people of Israel.	So the property of the Levites is redeemable—that is, a house sold in any town they hold—and is to be returned in the Jubilee, because the houses in the towns of the Levites are their property among the Israelites.
34	But the fielde of the suburbes of their cities may not be solde: for it is their perpetuall possession.	But the fields of pastureland belonging to their cities may not be sold, for that is their possession forever.	But the pastureland belonging to their towns must not be sold; it is their permanent possession.
35	If thy brother be waxen poore and fallen in decay with thee, thou shalt relieue hym as a straunger or soiourner, that he may lyue with thee.	“If your brother becomes poor and cannot maintain himself with you, you shall support him as though he were a stranger and a sojourner, and he shall live with you.	“’If any of your fellow Israelites become poor and are unable to support themselves among you, help them as you would a foreigner and stranger, so they can continue to live among you.
36	And thou shalt take none vsurie of hym, or vantage: but thou shalt feare thy God, that thy brother may lyue with thee.	Take no interest from him or profit, but fear your God, that your brother may live beside you.	Do not take interest or any profit from them, but fear your God, so that they may continue to live among you.
37	Thou shalt not geue hym thy money vpon vsurie, nor lende him thy victuels for encrease.	You shall not lend him your money at interest, nor give him your food for profit.	You must not lend them money at interest or sell them food at a profit.
38	I am the Lorde your God, which brought you out of the lande of Egypt, to geue you the lande of Chanaan, and to be your God.	I 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.	I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of Egypt to give you the land of Canaan and to be your God.
39	If thy brother that dwelleth by thee be waxen poore, and be solde vnto thee, thou shalt not compell hym to serue as a bonde seruaunt:	“If your brother becomes poor beside you and sells himself to you, you shall not make him serve as a slave:	“’If any of your fellow Israelites become poor and sell themselves to you, do not make them work as slaves.
40	But as an hired seruaunt, and as a soiourner he shalbe with thee, and shall serue thee vnto the yere of Iubilee.	he shall be with you as a hired worker and as a sojourner. He shall serve with you until the year of the jubilee.	They are to be treated as hired workers or temporary residents among you; they are to work for you until the Year of Jubilee.
41	And then shall he depart from thee, both he and his children with hym, and shall returne vnto his owne kinred agayne, and vnto the possession of his fathers shall he returne.	Then he shall go out from you, he and his children with him, and go back to his own clan and return to the possession of his fathers.	Then they and their children are to be released, and they will go back to their own clans and to the property of their ancestors.
42	For they are my seruauntes, which I brought out of the lande of Egypt, and shall not therfore be solde as bondmen.	For they are my servants, whom I brought out of the land of Egypt; they shall not be sold as slaves.	Because the Israelites are my servants, whom I brought out of Egypt, they must not be sold as slaves.
43	Thou shalt not rule ouer hym cruelly, but shalt feare thy God.	You shall not rule over him ruthlessly but shall fear your God.	Do not rule over them ruthlessly, but fear your God.
44	Thy bondseruaunt and thy bondemayde which thou shalt haue, shalbe of the heathen that are rounde about you: of them shall ye purchase seruauntes and maydes.	As for your male and female slaves whom you may have: you may buy male and female slaves from among the nations that are around you.	“’Your male and female slaves are to come from the nations around you; from them you may buy slaves.
45	Moreouer, of the children of ye straungers that are soiourners among you, of them shall ye bye, & of their families that are with you, which they begat in your lande: these shalbe your possession.	You may also buy from among the strangers who sojourn with you and their clans that are with you, who have been born in your land, and they may be your property.	You may also buy some of the temporary residents living among you and members of their clans born in your country, and they will become your property.
46	And ye shall take them as inheritauce for your children after yon, to possesse them for an inheritaunce, they shalbe your bondmen for euer: but ouer your brethren the children of Israel, ye shall not rule one ouer another cruelly.	You may bequeath them to your sons after you to inherit as a possession forever. You may make slaves of them, but over your brothers the people of Israel you shall not rule, one over another ruthlessly.	You can bequeath them to your children as inherited property and can make them slaves for life, but you must not rule over your fellow Israelites ruthlessly.
47	If a soiourner or straunger waxe riche by thee, and thy brother that dwelleth by hym waxe poore, and sell hym selfe vnto the straunger or soiourner by thee, or to the stocke of the straungers kinne:	“If a stranger or sojourner with you becomes rich, and your brother beside him becomes poor and sells himself to the stranger or sojourner with you or to a member of the stranger’s clan,	“’If a foreigner residing among you becomes rich and any of your fellow Israelites become poor and sell themselves to the foreigner or to a member of the foreigner’s clan,
48	After that he is solde, he may be redeemed agayne: one of his brethren may redeeme hym:	then after he is sold he may be redeemed. One of his brothers may redeem him,	they retain the right of redemption after they have sold themselves. One of their relatives may redeem them:
49	Either his vncle, or his vncles sonne may bye hym out: or any that is nye of kinne vnto hym of his kinred, may redeeme hym: either yf his hande can get so much, he may be bought out.	or his uncle or his cousin may redeem him, or a close relative from his clan may redeem him. Or if he grows rich he may redeem himself.	An uncle or a cousin or any blood relative in their clan may redeem them. Or if they prosper, they may redeem themselves.
50	And he shall recken with hym that bought hym, from the yere that he was solde in, vnto the yere of Iubilee: and the price of his beyng, shalbe accordyng vnto the number of yeres, according to the tyme of an hired seruaunt shall he be with hym.	He shall calculate with his buyer from the year when he sold himself to him until the year of jubilee, and the price of his sale shall vary with the number of years. The time he was with his owner shall be rated as the time of a hired worker.	They and their buyer are to count the time from the year they sold themselves up to the Year of Jubilee. The price for their release is to be based on the rate paid to a hired worker for that number of years.
51	If there be yet many yeres behynde, accordyng vnto them let hym geue againe for his deliueraunce, of the money that he was bought for.	If there are still many years left, he shall pay proportionately for his redemption some of his sale price.	If many years remain, they must pay for their redemption a larger share of the price paid for them.
52	If there remayne but fewe yeres vnto the yere of Iubilee, let hym count with hym agayne: and accordyng vnto his yeres, geue hym agayne for his redemption.	If there remain but a few years until the year of jubilee, he shall calculate and pay for his redemption in proportion to his years of service.	If only a few years remain until the Year of Jubilee, they are to compute that and pay for their redemption accordingly.
53	And he shalbe with hym yere by yere as an hired seruaunt: and the other shal not raigne cruelly ouer him in thy sight.	He shall treat him as a worker hired year by year. He shall not rule ruthlessly over him in your sight.	They are to be treated as workers hired from year to year; you must see to it that those to whom they owe service do not rule over them ruthlessly.
54	If he be not redeemed thus, he shall go out in the yere of Iubilee, both he and his children with hym:	And if he is not redeemed by these means, then he and his children with him shall be released in the year of jubilee.	“’Even if someone is not redeemed in any of these ways, they and their children are to be released in the Year of Jubilee,
55	For vnto me the children of Israel are seruauntes, they are my seruauntes which I brought out of the lande of Egypt: I am the Lorde your God.	For it is to me that the people of Israel are servants. They are my servants whom I brought out of the land of Egypt: I am the LORD your God.	for the Israelites belong to me as servants. They are my servants, whom I brought out of Egypt. I am the LORD your God.
