20
And if ye shall say, What shall we eat the seventh year? behold, we shall not sow, nor
gather in our increase:
21
Then I will command my blessing upon you in the sixth year, and it shall
bring forth fruit for three years.
22
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.
23
The land shall not be sold for ever: for the land
is
mine; for ye
are
strangers and sojourners
with me.
24
And in all the land of your possession ye shall grant a redemption for the land.
25
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.
26
And if the man have
none to redeem it, and himself be able to redeem it;
27
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.
28
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.
29
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.
30
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.
31
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.
32
Notwithstanding the
cities of the Levites,
and
the houses of the cities of their possession, may the Levites redeem at any
time.
33
And if a man purchase of the Levites, then the house that was sold, and the city of his
possession, shall go out in
the year of
jubile: for the houses of the cities of the Levites
are
their
possession among the children of Israel.
34
But the field of the suburbs of their cities may not be
sold; for it is their perpetual possession.
35
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.
36
Take thou no usury of
him, or increase: but fear thy God; that thy brother may live with thee.
37
Thou shalt not give him
thy money upon usury, nor lend him thy victuals for increase.
38
I
am
the L
ORD
your God, which
brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, to give you the land of Canaan,
and
to be your God.
39
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:
40
But
as an hired servant,
and
as a sojourner, he shall be
with thee,
and
shall serve thee unto the year of jubile:
41
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.
42
For they
are
my servants, which I brought forth out of the land of Egypt:
they shall not be sold as bondmen.
43
Thou shalt not rule over him with rigour; but shalt fear thy
God.
44
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.
45
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.
46
And ye shall take them
