Leviticus 25:1-10 ▼

1 And YHWH spoke to Moses on Mount Sinai, saying,

2 “Speak to the sons of Israel and say to them: When you? come into the land that I am giving to you?, then the land shall keep a Sabbath to YHWH.

3 Six years you shall sow your field, and six years you shall prune your vineyard and gather its fruit.

4 And in the seventh year there shall be a Sabbath of complete rest for the land, a Sabbath to YHWH. Your field you shall not sow, and your vineyard you shall not prune.

5 What grows of its own accord of your harvest you shall not reap, and the grapes of your untended vine you shall not gather. It is a year of complete rest for the land.

6 And the Sabbath of the land to you? shall be food for you, and for your manservant, and for your maidservant, and for your hireling, and for your sojourner sojourning with you,

7 and for your livestock, and for the beast that is in your land. All its produce shall be for food.

8 And you shall count for yourself seven Sabbaths of years—seven years seven times—and the days of seven Sabbaths of years shall be to you nine and forty years.

9 And the shofar of the Jubilee you shall cause to sound in the seventh month, on the tenth of the month, in the Day of the Atonements. You? shall make the shofar to sound throughout all your? land.

10 And you? shall consecrate the year, the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty in the land to all its dwellers. It shall be a Jubilee for you?, and each of you shall return to his possession, and each of you shall return to his family.
