024:022 You shall have one kind of law, for the foreigner as well
as the native-born: for I am Yahweh your God.'"
024:023 Moses spoke to the children of Israel; and they brought forth him
who had cursed out of the camp, and stoned him with stones.
The children of Israel did as Yahweh commanded Moses.
025:001 Yahweh said to Moses in Mount Sinai,
025:002 "Speak to the children of Israel, and tell them, 'When you
come into the land which I give you, then the land shall keep
a Sabbath to Yahweh.
025:003 Six years you shall sow your field, and six years you shall
prune your vineyard, and gather in its fruits;
025:004 but in the seventh year there shall be a Sabbath of solemn
rest for the land, a Sabbath to Yahweh. You shall not sow
your field or prune your vineyard.
025:005 What grows of itself in your harvest you shall not reap,
and the grapes of your undressed vine you shall not gather.
It shall be a year of solemn rest for the land.
025:006 The Sabbath of the land shall be for food for you; for yourself,
for your servant, for your maid, for your hired servant,
and for your stranger, who lives as a foreigner with you.
025:007 For your livestock also, and for the animals that are in your land,
shall all the increase of it be for food.
025:008 "'You shall count off seven Sabbaths of years, seven times
seven years; and there shall be to you the days of seven
Sabbaths of years, even forty-nine years.
025:009 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.
025:010 You shall make the fiftieth year holy, and proclaim liberty
throughout the land to all its inhabitants. It shall be a jubilee
to you; and each of you shall return to his own property,
and each of you shall return to his family.
025:011 That fiftieth year shall be a jubilee to you. In it you
shall not sow, neither reap that which grows of itself,
nor gather from the undressed vines.
025:012 For it is a jubilee; it shall be holy to you. You shall eat
of its increase out of the field.
025:013 "'In this Year of Jubilee each of you shall return to his property.
025:014 "'If you sell anything to your neighbor, or buy from your neighbor,
you shall not wrong one another.
025:015 According to the number of years after the Jubilee you shall
buy from your neighbor. According to the number of years
of the crops he shall sell to you.
025:016 According to the length of the years you shall increase the price
of it, and according to the shortness of the years you shall
diminish the price of it; for he is selling the number
of the crops to you.
025:017 You shall not wrong one another; but you shall fear your God:
for I am Yahweh your God.
