And HaShem spoke unto Moses in mount Sinai, saying:

And the Lord spoke to Moses in the Mount Sinai, saying,

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 HaShem.

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.

Six years thou shalt sow thy field, and six years thou shalt prune thy vineyard, and gather in the produce thereof.

Six years thou shalt sow thy field, and six years thou shalt prune thy vine, and gather in its fruit.

But in the seventh year shall be a sabbath of solemn rest for the land, a sabbath unto HaShem; thou shalt neither sow thy field, nor prune thy vineyard.

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.

That which groweth of itself of thy harvest thou shalt not reap, and the grapes of thy undressed vine thou shalt not gather; it shall be a year of solemn rest for the land.

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.

And the sabbath-produce of the land shall be for food for you: for thee, and for thy servant and for thy maid, and for thy hired servant and for the settler by thy side that sojourn with thee;

And the Sabbaths of the land shall be food for thee, and for thy manservant, and for thy maidservant, and thy hireling, and the stranger that abides with thee.

and for thy cattle, and for the beasts that are in thy land, shall all the increase thereof be for food.

And for thy cattle, and for the wild beasts that are in thy land, shall every fruit of it be for food.

And thou shalt number seven sabbaths of years unto thee, seven times seven years; and there shall be unto thee the days of seven sabbaths of years, even forty and nine years.

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.

Then shalt thou make proclamation with the blast of the horn on the tenth day of the seventh month; in the day of atonement shall ye make proclamation with the horn throughout all your land.

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.

And ye shall hallow the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout the land unto all the inhabitants thereof; it shall be a jubilee unto you; and ye shall return every man unto his possession, and ye shall return every man unto his family.

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.

A jubilee shall that fiftieth year be unto you; ye shall not sow, neither reap that which groweth of itself in it, nor gather the grapes in it of the undressed vines.

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.

For it is a jubilee; it shall be holy unto you; ye shall eat the increase thereof out of the field.

For it is a jubilee of release; it shall be holy to you, ye shall eat its fruits off the fields.

In this year of jubilee ye shall return every man unto his possession.

In the year of the release [even] the jubilee of it, shall [each] one return to his possession.

And if thou sell aught unto thy neighbour, or buy of thy neighbour's hand, ye shall not wrong one another.

And if thou shouldest sell a possession to thy neighbor, or if thou shouldest buy of thy neighbor, let not a man oppress his neighbor.

According to the number of years after the jubilee thou shalt buy of thy neighbour, and according unto the number of years of the crops he shall sell unto thee.

According to the number of years after the jubilee shalt thou buy of thy neighbor, according to the number of years of the fruits shall he sell to thee.

According to the multitude of the years thou shalt increase the price thereof, and according to the fewness of the years thou shalt diminish the price of it; for the number of crops doth he sell unto thee.

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.

And ye shall not wrong one another; but thou shalt fear thy G-d; for I am HaShem your G-d.

Let not a man oppress his neighbor, and thou shalt fear the Lord thy God: I am the Lord thy God.

Wherefore ye shall do My statutes, and keep Mine ordinances and do them; and ye shall dwell in the land in safety.

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.

And the land shall yield her fruit, and ye shall eat until ye have enough, and dwell therein in safety.

And the land shall yield her increase, and ye shall eat to fullness, and shall dwell securely in it.

And if ye shall say: 'What shall we eat the seventh year? behold, we may not sow, nor gather in our increase';

And if ye should say, What shall we eat in this seventh year, if we do not sow nor gather in our fruits?

then I will command My blessing upon you in the sixth year, and it shall bring forth produce for the three years.

Then will I send my blessing upon you in the sixth year, and the land shall produce its fruits for three years.

And ye shall sow the eighth year, and eat of the produce, the old store; until the ninth year, until her produce come in, ye shall eat the old store.

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.

And the land shall not be sold in perpetuity; for the land is Mine; for ye are strangers and settlers with Me.

And the land shall not be sold for a permanence; for the land is mine, because ye are strangers and sojourners before me.

And in all the land of your possession ye shall grant a redemption for the land.

And in every land of your possession, ye shall allow ransoms for the land.

If thy brother be waxen poor, and sell some of his possession, then shall his kinsman that is next unto him come, and shall redeem that which his brother hath sold.

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.

And if a man have no one to redeem it, and he be waxen rich and find sufficient means to redeem it;

And if one have no near kinsman, and he prosper with his hand, and he find sufficient money, [even] his ransom;

then let him count the years of the sale thereof, and restore the overplus unto the man to whom he sold it; and he shall return unto his possession.

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.

But if he have not sufficient means to get it back for himself, then that which he hath 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.

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.

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; for a full year shall he have the right of redemption.

And if anyone 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.

And if it be not redeemed within the space of a full year, then the house that is in the walled city shall be made sure in perpetuity to him that bought it, throughout his generations; it shall not go out in the jubilee.

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.

But the houses of the villages which have no wall round about them shall be reckoned with the fields of the country; they may be redeemed, and they shall go out in the jubilee.

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 as for the cities of the Levites, the houses of the cities of their possession, the Levites shall have a perpetual right of redemption.

And the cities of the Levites, the houses of the cities in their possession, shall be always redeemable to the Levites.

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 jubilee; for the houses of the cities of the Levites are their possession among the children of Israel.

And if anyone 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.

But the fields of the open land about their cities may not be sold; for that is their perpetual possession.

And the lands set apart for their cities shall not be sold, because this is their perpetual possession.

And if thy brother be waxen poor, and his means fail with thee; then thou shalt uphold him: as a stranger and a settler shall he live with thee.

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.

Take thou no interest of him or increase; but fear thy G-d; that thy brother may live with thee.

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.

Thou shalt not give him thy money upon interest, nor give him thy victuals for increase.

Thou shalt not lend thy money to him at interest, and thou shalt not lend thy meat to him to be returned with increase.

I am HaShem your G-d, who brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, to give you the land of Canaan, to be your G-d.

I [am] the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, to give you the land of Canaan, so as to be your God.

And if thy brother be waxen poor with thee, and sell himself unto thee, thou shalt not make him to serve as a bondservant.

And if thy brother by thee be lowered, and be sold to thee, he shall not serve thee with the servitude of a slave.

As a hired servant, and as a settler, he shall be with thee; he shall serve with thee unto the year of jubilee.

He shall be with thee as a hireling or a sojourner, he shall work for thee till the year of release:

Then shall he go out from thee, he and his children with him, and shall return unto his own family, and unto the possession of his fathers shall he return.

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.

For they are My servants, whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt; they shall not be sold as bondmen.

Because these are my servants, whom I brought out of the land of Egypt; such a one shall not be sold as a [common] servant.

Thou shalt not rule over him with rigour; but shalt fear thy G-d.

Thou shalt not oppress him with labor, and shalt fear the Lord thy God.

And as for thy bondmen, and thy bondmaids, whom thou mayest have: of the nations that are round about you, of them shall ye buy bondmen and bondmaids.

And whatever number of menservants and maidservants thou shalt have, thou shalt purchase male and female servants from the nations that are round about thee.

Moreover of the children of the strangers that do sojourn among you, of them may ye buy, and of their families that are with you, which they have begotten in your land; and they may be your possession.

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.

And ye may make them an inheritance for your children after you, to hold for a possession: of them may ye take your bondmen for ever; but over your brethren the children of Israel ye shall not rule, one over another, with rigour.

And ye shall distribute them to your children after you, and they shall be to you permanent possessions forever: but of your brethren the children of Israel, one shall not oppress his brother in labors.

And if a stranger who is a settler with thee be waxen rich, and thy brother be waxen poor beside him, and sell himself unto the stranger who is a settler with thee, or to the offshoot of a stranger's family,

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;

after that he is sold he may be redeemed; one of his brethren may redeem him;

after he is sold to him there shall be redemption for him, one of his brethren shall redeem him.

or his uncle, or his uncle's son, may redeem him, or any that is nigh of kin unto him of his family may redeem him; or if he be waxen rich, he may redeem himself.

A brother of his father, or 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,

And he shall reckon with him that bought him from the year that he sold himself to him unto the year of jubilee; and the price of his sale shall be according unto the number of years; according to the time of a hired servant shall he be with him.

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.

If there be yet many years, according unto them he shall give back the price of his redemption out of the money that he was bought for.

And if any have a greater number of years [than enough], according to these he shall pay his ransom out of his purchase money.

And if there remain but few years unto the year of jubilee, then he shall reckon with him; according unto his years shall he give back the price of his redemption.

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

As a servant hired year by year shall he be with him; he shall not rule with rigour over him in thy sight.

as a hireling; he shall be with him from year to year; thou shalt not oppress him with labor before thee.

And if he be not redeemed by any of these means, then he shall go out in the year of jubilee, he, and his children with him.

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.

For unto Me the children of Israel are servants; they are My servants whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt: I am HaShem your G-d.

For the children of Israel are my servants: they are my attendants, whom I brought out of the land of Egypt.
