1Then the LORD said to Moses on Mount Sinai,
“The Lord spoke to Moses on Mount Sinai saying”
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.
“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.”
“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 sons of Israel and say to them When you come into the land that I will give you. Then the land shall keep a Sabbath to the Lord.”
3For six years you may sow your field and prune your vineyard and gather its crops.
“Six years thou shalt sow thy field, and six years thou shalt prune thy vineyard, and gather in the fruits thereof.”
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.
“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.”
“but during the seventh year, the land must have a Sabbath rest, a Sabbath to the Lord. You shall not sow your field, nor prune your vineyard”
“in the seventh year verse 4 There should be a Sabbath of solemn rest for the land a Sabbath to the Lord. You shall not sow 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.
“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.”
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,
“And the sabbath of the land shall be meet for you, for thee, and for thy servant, and for thy maid, and for thy hired servant, and for thy stranger that is sojournest with thee.”
7and for your livestock and the wild animals in your land. All its growth may serve as food.
“And for thy cattle and for the beasts that are in thy land shall all the increase thereof be meet.”
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.
“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.”
“You shall count seven weeks of years. Seven times seven years. So the time of the seven weeks of years shall give you 49 years.”
“and thou shalt number seven Sabbaths of years unto thee, seven times, seven years in the space of the seven Sabbaths of years shall be under the forty and nine years”
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.
“Then shalt thou cause the trumpet of the jubilee 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.”
“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. You shall cause the trumpet of the Jubilee to sound on the tenth day of the seventh month in the Day of Atonement you shall make the trumpet sound throughout all 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.
“And ye shall hallow the fiftieth year and proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof. For it shall be a jubilee unto you, and ye shall return every man unto his possession, and ye shall return every…”
“and you shall consecrate the fiftieth year and proclaim liberty throughout the land to all its inhabitants. It shall be jubilee for you when each of you shall return to his property and each of you shall return to his clan.”
“And you shall consecrate the 50th year and proclaim liberty throughout the land to all of 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.”
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.
“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 underdressed vines.”
12For it is a Jubilee; it shall be holy to you. You may eat only the crops taken directly from the field.
“For it is the jubilee, it shall be holy unto you. Ye shall eat the increase thereof out of the field.”
“for it is the Jubilee it shall be holy unto you. And ye shall eat of the increase thereof out of the field”
“For it is a jubilee. It shall be holy to you. You may eat the produce of the field.”
“For it is the Jubilee, it shall be holy unto you. You shall eat the increase thereof out of the field”
13In this Year of Jubilee, each of you shall return to his own property.
“In the year of this jubilee ye shall return every man unto his possession.”
14If you make a sale to your neighbor or a purchase from him, you must not take advantage of each other.
“And if thou sell aught unto thy neighbor or buyest aught of thy neighbor's hand, ye shall not oppress 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.
“according to the number of years after the jubilee thou shalt buy of thy neighbor, and according unto the number of years of the fruits he shall sell unto thee.”
“according to the number of years after the Jubilee thou shalt buy of thy neighbor. According to the number of years of the fruits he shall sell unto thee.”
“According to the number of years after Jubilee, thou shalt buy of thy neighbor and according unto the number of the years of the fruit, he shall sell unto thee.”
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.
“According to the multitude of years thou shalt increase the price thereof, and according to the fewness of years thou shalt diminish the price of it. For according to the number of the years of the fruits doth he sell unto thee.”
17Do not take advantage of each other, but fear your God; for I am the LORD your God.
“Ye shall not therefore oppress one another, but thou shalt fear thy God, for I am the Lord your God.”
“shall not therefore oppress one another, but thou shalt fear thy God for 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.
“Wherefore ye shall do my statutes and keep my judgments, and do them, and ye shall dwell in the land in safety.”
“Therefore, you shall do my statutes and keep my rules and perform them. And then you will dwell in the land securely.”
19Then the land will yield its fruit, so that you can eat your fill and dwell in safety in the land.
“The land will yield its fruit, verse 19, and you will eat your fill and dwell in it securely.”
20Now you may wonder, 'What will we eat in the seventh year if we do not sow or gather our produce?'
“And if ye shall say, What shall we? The seventh year. Behold, we shall not sow nor gather in our increase.”
21But I will send My blessing upon you in the sixth year, so that the land will yield a crop sufficient for three years.
“Then I will command my blessing upon you in the sixth year, and it shall bring forth fruit 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.”
“Then I will so order my blessing for you in the sixth year that the land will bring forth the crop 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.
“And ye shall sow the eighth year and eat yet of the old fruit until the ninth year. Until her fruits come in, ye shall eat of the old store.”
23The land must not be sold permanently, because it is Mine, and you are but foreigners and residents with Me.
“the land shall not be sold forever. For the land is mine. For ye are strangers and sojourners with me”
24Thus for every piece of property you possess, you must provide for the redemption of the land.
“and in all the land of your possession ye shall grant a redemption for the land.”
“Thus for every piece of your property you are to provide for the redemption of the land.”
“And in all the land of your possession ye shall grant a redemption for the land”
“And in all the land of your possession you shall grant a 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.
“If thy brother be waxen poor, and have sold away some of his possession, and if any of his kin come to redeem it, then shall he redeem that which his brother sold.”
“if thy brother be waxen poor and has sold away some of his possession. And if any of his kin come to redeem it then shall he redeem that which his brother hath sold.”
“If thy brother be waxed poor and has sold away some of his possessions and if any of his kin come to redeem it, then shall he redeem that which his brother had sold.”
26Or if a man has no one to redeem it for him, but he prospers and acquires enough to redeem his land,
“And if the man have none to redeem it, and himself be able to redeem it,”
27he shall calculate the years since its sale, repay the balance to the man to whom he sold it, and return to his property.
“then let him count the years of the sale thereof, and restore the overplus unto the man to whom he sold it, that he may return unto his possession.”
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.
“But if he be not able to restore it to him, then that which is sold shall remain in the hand of him that hath bought it, until the year of jubilee. And in the jubilee it shall go out, and he shall return unto his possession.”
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.
“And if a man sell a dwelling house in a walled city, then he may redeem it within a whole year after it is sold. Within a full year may he redeem it.”
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.
“And if it be not redeemed within the space of a full year, then the house that is in the walled city shall be established forever to him that bought it throughout his generations. It shall not go out 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.
“But the houses of the villagers, which have no wall around about them, shall be counted as the fields of the country. They may be redeemed, and they shall go out 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.
“Notwithstanding, the cities of the Levites and the houses of the cities of their possession may the Levites redeem at any time.”
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.
“And if a man purchase of the Levites, then the house that was sold in the city of his possession shall go out in the year of jubilee, for the houses of the city of the Levites are their possession among the children of Israel.”
34But the open pastureland around their cities may not be sold, for this is their permanent possession.
“But the field of the suburbs of their cities may not be sold, for it is their perpetual possession.”
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.
“And if thy brother be waxen poor, and fallen in decay with thee, then thou shalt relieve him, yea, though he be a stranger or a sojourner, that he may live with thee.”
36Do not take any interest or profit from him, but fear your God, that your countryman may live among you.
“Take thou no usury of him, or increase, but fear thy God, that thy brother may live with thee.”
37You must not lend him your silver at interest or sell him your food for profit.
“Thou shalt not give him thy money upon usury, nor lend him thy bittles for increase.”
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.
“I am the Lord your God, which brought you forth 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 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.
“And if thy brother that dwelleth by thee be waxen poor, and be sold unto thee, thou shalt not compel him to serve as a bondservant.”
40Let him stay with you as a hired worker or temporary resident; he is to work for you until the Year of Jubilee.
“But as an hired servant, and as a sojourner, he shall be with thee, and he shall serve thee unto 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.
“And then shall he depart from thee, both he and his children with him, and shall return unto his own family, and unto the possession of his fathers shall he return.”
42Because the Israelites are My servants, whom I brought out of the land of Egypt, they are not to be sold as slaves.
“For they are my servants, which I brought forth out of the land of Egypt. They shall not be sold as bondmen.”
43You are not to rule over them harshly, but you shall fear your God.
“Thou shalt not rule over him with vigor, but shalt fear thy God.”
44Your menservants and maidservants shall come from the nations around you, from whom you may purchase them.
“Both thy bondmen and thy bondmaids, which thou shalt have, shall be of the heathen that are round about you. Of them shall ye buy bondmen and bondmaids.”
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.
“Moreover, of the children of the strangers that do sojourn among you, of them shall ye buy, and of their families that are with you, which they begat in your land, and they shall be your possession.”
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.
“And ye shall take them as an inheritance for your children after you, to inherit them for a possession. They shall be your bondmen forever. But over your brethren, the children of Israel, you shall not rule one over another with…”
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,
“If a sojourner or stranger wax rich by thee and thy brother that dwelleth by him wax poor and selleth not his lands only but himself unto the stranger or sojourner by thee or to the stock of the stranger's family”
48he retains the right of redemption after he has sold himself. One of his brothers may redeem him:

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.

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.
“For it is to me that the people of Israel are servants. They are servants whom I brought out of the land of Egypt. I am the Lord, your God.”
