	SEP Brenton Septuagint Translation	ESV English Standard Version	NIV New International Version
1	And the Lord spoke to Moses in the mount Sina, saying,	The LORD spoke to Moses on Mount Sinai, saying,	The LORD said to Moses at Mount Sinai,
2	Speak to the children of Israel, and thou shalt say to them, Whensoever ye shall have entered into the land, which I give to you, then the land shall rest which I give to you, for its sabbaths to the Lord.	“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	Six years thou shalt sow thy field, and six years thou shall prune thy vine, and gather in its fruit.	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 in the seventh year shall be a sabbath, it shall be a rest to the land, a sabbath to the Lord: thou shalt not sow thy field, and thou shalt not prune thy vine.	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	And thou shalt not gather the spontaneous produce of thy field, and thou shalt not gather fully the grapes of thy dedication: it shall be a year of rest to the land.	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 sabbaths of the land shall be food for thee, and for thy man-servant, and for thy maid-servant, and thy hireling, and the stranger that abides 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 cattle, and for the wild beats that are in thy land, shall every fruit of it be for food.	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 reckon to thyself seven sabbaths of years, seven times seven years; and they shall be to thee seven weeks of years, nine and forty years.	“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	In the seventh month, on the tenth day of the month, ye shall make a proclamation with the sound of a trumpet in all your land; on the day of atonement ye shall make a proclamation with a trumpet in all your land.	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 sanctify the year, the fiftieth year, and ye shall proclaim a release upon the land to all that inhabit it; it shall be given a year of release, a jubilee for you; and each one shall depart to his possession, and ye shall go each to his family.	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	This is a jubilee of release, the year shall be to you the fiftieth year: ye shall not sow, nor reap the produce that comes of itself from the land, neither shall ye gather its dedicated fruits.	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 it is a jubilee of release; it shall be holy to you, ye shall eat its fruits off the fields.	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 year of the release even the jubilee of it, shall each one return to his possession.	“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	And if thou shouldest sell a possession to thy neighbour, or if thou shouldest buy of thy neighbour, let not a man oppress his neighbour.	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	According to the number of years after the jubilee shalt thou buy of thy neighbour, according to the number of years of the fruits shall he sell to 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 as there may be a greater number of years he shall increase the value of his possession, and according as there may be a less number of years he shall lessen the value of his possession; for according to the number of his crops, so shall he sell to 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	Let not a man oppress his neighbour, and thou shalt fear the Lord thy God: I am the Lord thy 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	And ye shall keep all my ordinances, and all my judgments; and do ye observe them, and ye shall keep them, and dwell securely in the land.	“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 land shall yield her increase, and ye shall eat to fullness, and shall dwell securely in it.	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 if ye should say, What shall we eat in this seventh year, if we do not sow nor gather in our fruits?	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	Then will I send my blessing upon you in the sixth year, and the land shall produce its fruits for three years.	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 sow in the eighth year, and eat old fruits till the ninth year: until its fruit come, ye shall eat old fruits of the old.	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	And the land shall not be sold for a permanence; for the land is mine, because ye are strangers and sojourners before 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	And in every land of your possession, ye shall allow ransoms for the land.	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	And if thy brother who is with thee be poor, and should have sold part of his possession, and his kinsman who is nigh to him come, then he shall redeem the possession which his brother has sold.	“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 if one have no near kinsman, and he prosper with his hand, and he find sufficient money, even his ransom;	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	then shall he calculate the years of his sale, and he shall give what is due to the man to whom he sold it, and he shall return to his possession.	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 if his hand have not prospered sufficiently, so as that he should restore the money to him, then he that bought the possessions shall have them till the sixth year of the release; and it shall go out in the release, and the owner shall return to his possession.	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 if any one should sell an inhabited house in a walled city, then there shall be the ransom of it, until the time is fulfilled: its time of ransom shall be a full year.	“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	And if it be not ransomed until there be completed of its time a full year, the house which is in the walled city shall be surely confirmed to him that bought it, throughout his generations; and it shall not go out in the release.	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 in the villages which have not a wall round about them, shall be reckoned as the fields of the country: they shall always be redeemable, and they shall go out in the release.	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	And the cities of the Levites, the houses of the cities in their possession, shall be always redeemable to the Levites.	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 if any one shall redeem a house of the Levites, then shall their sale of the houses of their possession go out in the release; because the houses of the cities of the Levites are their possession in the midst of 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	And the lands set apart for their cities shall not be sold, because this is their perpetual 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	And if thy brother who is with thee become poor, and he fail in resources with thee, thou shalt help him as a stranger and a sojourner, and thy brother shall live 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	Thou shalt not receive from him interest, nor increase: and thou shalt fear thy God: I am the Lord: and thy brother shall live 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 lend thy money to him at interest, and thou shalt not lend thy meat to him to be returned with increase.	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 Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, to give you the land of Chanaan, so as 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	And if thy brother by thee be lowered, and be sold to thee, he shall not serve thee with the servitude of a slave.	“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	He shall be with thee as a hireling or a sojourner, he shall work for thee till the year of release:	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 he shall go out in the release, and his children with him; and he shall go to his family, he shall hasten back to his patrimony.	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	Because these are my servants, whom I brought out of the land of Egypt; such an one shall not be sold as a common servant.	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 oppress him with labour, and shalt fear the Lord 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	And whatever number of men-servants and maid-servants thou shalt have, thou shalt purchase male and female servants from the nations that are round about thee.	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	And of the sons of the sojourners that are among you, of these ye shall buy and of their relations, all that shall be in your lands; let them be to you for a 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 distribute them to your children after you, and they shall be to you permanent possessions for ever: but of your brethren the children of Israel, one shall not oppress his brother in labours.	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	And if a stranger or sojourner with thee wax rich, and thy brother in distress be sold to the stranger or the sojourner that is with thee, or to a proselyte by extraction;	“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 he is sold to him there shall be redemption for him, one of his brethren shall redeem him.	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	A brother of his father, or a son of his father's brother shall redeem him; or let one of his near kin of his tribe redeem him, and if he should be rich and redeem himself,	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	then shall he calculate with his purchaser from the year that he sold himself to him until the year of release: and the money of his purchase shall be as that of a hireling, he shall be with him from year to year.	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	And if any have a greater number of years than enough , according to these he shall pay his ransom out of his purchase-money.	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	And if but a little time be left of the years to the year of release, then shall he reckon to him according to his years, and shall pay his ransom	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	as a hireling; he shall be with him from year to year; thou shalt not oppress him with labour before thee.	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	And if he do not pay his ransom accordingly, he shall go out in the year of his release, he and his children with him.	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 the children of Israel are my servants: they are my attendants, whom I brought out of the land of Egypt.	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.
