03:025:012 For it is the jubile; it shall be holy unto you: ye shall
eat the increase thereof out of the field.
03:025:013 In the year of this jubile ye shall return every man unto
his possession.
03:025:014 And if thou sell ought unto thy neighbour, or buyest ought
of thy neighbour's hand, ye shall not oppress one another:
03:025:015 According to the number of years after the jubile thou shalt
buy of thy neighbour, and according unto the number of years of the
fruits he shall sell unto thee:
03:025:016 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.
03:025:017 Ye shall not therefore oppress one another; but thou shalt
fear thy God: for I am the LORD your God.
03:025:018 Wherefore ye shall do my statutes, and keep my judgments,
and do them; and ye shall dwell in the land in safety.
03:025:019 And the land shall yield her fruit, and ye shall eat your
fill, and dwell therein in safety.
03:025:020 And if ye shall say, What shall we eat the seventh year?
behold, we shall not sow, nor gather in our increase:
03:025:021 Then I will command my blessing upon you in the sixth year,
and it shall bring forth fruit for three years.
03:025:022 And ye shall sow the eighth year, and eat yet of old fruit
until the ninth year; until her fruits come in ye shall eat of the old
store.
03:025:023 The land shall not be sold for ever: for the land is mine,
for ye are strangers and sojourners with me.
03:025:024 And in all the land of your possession ye shall grant a
redemption for the land.
03:025:025 If thy brother be waxen poor, and hath 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.
03:025:026 And if the man have none to redeem it, and himself be able
to redeem it;
03:025:027 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.
03:025:028 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 jubile: and in the jubile it shall go out, and he shall return
unto his possession.
03:025:029 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.
03:025:030 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 for ever
to him that bought it throughout his generations: it shall not go out
in the jubile.
03:025:031 But the houses of the villages which have no wall round
about them shall be counted as the fields of the country: they may be
redeemed, and they shall go out in the jubile.
