Leviticus 25:1-42

25:1

And the LORD
<03068>

spake
<01696> (8762)

unto Moses
<04872>

in mount
<02022>

Sinai
<05514>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

25:2

Speak
<01696> (8761)

unto the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>_,

and say
<0559> (8804)

unto them, When ye come
<0935> (8799)

into the land
<0776>

which I give
<05414> (8802)

you, then shall the land
<0776>

keep
<07673> (8804)

a sabbath
<07676>

unto the LORD
<03068>_.

{keep: Heb. rest}

25:3

Six
<08337>

years
<08141>

thou shalt sow
<02232> (8799)

thy field
<07704>_,

and six
<08337>

years
<08141>

thou shalt prune
<02168> (8799)

thy vineyard
<03754>_,

and gather
<0622> (8804)

in the fruit
<08393>

thereof;

25:4

But in the seventh
<07637>

year
<08141>

shall be a sabbath
<07676>

of rest
<07677>

unto the land
<0776>_,

a sabbath
<07676>

for the LORD
<03068>_:

thou shalt neither sow
<02232> (8799)

thy field
<07704>_,

nor prune
<02168> (8799)

thy vineyard
<03754>_.

25:5

That which groweth of its own accord
<05599>

of thy harvest
<07105>

thou shalt not reap
<07114> (8799)_,

neither gather
<01219> (8799)

the grapes
<06025>

of thy vine undressed
<05139>_:

[for] it is a year
<08141>

of rest
<07677>

unto the land
<0776>_.

{of thy vine...: Heb. of thy separation}

25:6

And the sabbath
<07676>

of the land
<0776>

shall be meat
<0402>

for you; for thee, and for thy servant
<05650>_,

and for thy maid
<0519>_,

and for thy hired servant
<07916>_,

and for thy stranger
<08453>

that sojourneth
<01481> (8802)

with thee,

25:7

And for thy cattle
<0929>_,

and for the beast
<02416>

that [are] in thy land
<0776>_,

shall all the increase
<08393>

thereof be meat
<0398> (8800)_.

25:8

And thou shalt number
<05608> (8804)

seven
<07651>

sabbaths
<07676>

of years
<08141>

unto thee, seven
<07651>

times
<06471>

seven
<07651>

years
<08141>_;

and the space
<03117>

of the seven
<07651>

sabbaths
<07676>

of years
<08141>

shall be unto thee forty
<0705>

and nine
<08672>

years
<08141>_.

25:9

Then shalt thou cause the trumpet
<07782>

of the jubile
<08643>

to sound
<05674> (8689)

on the tenth
<06218>

[day] of the seventh
<07637>

month
<02320>_,

in the day
<03117>

of atonement
<03725>

shall ye make the trumpet
<07782>

sound
<05674> (8686)

throughout all your land
<0776>_.

{of the jubile: Heb. loud of sound}

25:10

And ye shall hallow
<06942> (8765)

the fiftieth
<02572> <08141>

year
<08141>_,

and proclaim
<07121> (8804)

liberty
<01865>

throughout [all] the land
<0776>

unto all the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

thereof: it shall be a jubile
<03104>

unto you; and ye shall return
<07725> (8804)

every man
<0376>

unto his possession
<0272>_,

and ye shall return
<07725> (8799)

every man
<0376>

unto his family
<04940>_.

25:11

A jubile
<03104>

shall that fiftieth
<02572> <08141>

year
<08141>

be unto you: ye shall not sow
<02232> (8799)_,

neither reap
<07114> (8799)

that which groweth
<05599>

of itself in it, nor gather
<01219> (8799)

[the grapes] in it of thy vine undressed
<05139>_.

25:12

For it [is] the jubile
<03104>_;

it shall be holy
<06944>

unto you: ye shall eat
<0398> (8799)

the increase
<08393>

thereof out of the field
<07704>_.

25:13

In the year
<08141>

of this jubile
<03104>

ye shall return
<07725> (8799)

every man
<0376>

unto his possession
<0272>_.

25:14

And if thou sell
<04376> (8799)

ought
<04465>

unto thy neighbour
<05997>_,

or buyest
<07069> (8800)

[ought] of thy neighbour's
<05997>

hand
<03027>_,

ye shall not oppress
<03238> (8686)

one
<0376>

another
<0251>_:

25:15

According to the number
<04557>

of years
<08141>

after
<0310>

the jubile
<03104>

thou shalt buy
<07069> (8799)

of thy neighbour
<05997>_,

[and] according unto the number
<04557>

of years
<08141>

of the fruits
<08393>

he shall sell
<04376> (8799)

unto thee:

25:16

According
<06310>

to the multitude
<07230>

of years
<08141>

thou shalt increase
<07235> (8686)

the price
<04736>

thereof, and according
<06310>

to the fewness
<04591> (8800)

of years
<08141>

thou shalt diminish
<04591> (8686)

the price
<04736>

of it: for [according] to the number
<04557>

[of the years] of the fruits
<08393>

doth he sell
<04376> (8802)

unto thee.

25:17

Ye shall not therefore oppress
<03238> (8686)

one
<0376>

another
<05997>_;

but thou shalt fear
<03372> (8804)

thy God
<0430>_:

for I [am] the LORD
<03068>

your God
<0430>_.

25:18

Wherefore ye shall do
<06213> (8804)

my statutes
<02708>_,

and keep
<08104> (8799)

my judgments
<04941>_,

and do
<06213> (8804)

them; and ye shall dwell
<03427> (8804)

in the land
<0776>

in safety
<0983>_.

25:19

And the land
<0776>

shall yield
<05414> (8804)

her fruit
<06529>_,

and ye shall eat
<0398> (8804)

your fill
<07648>_,

and dwell
<03427> (8804)

therein in safety
<0983>_.

25:20

And if ye shall say
<0559> (8799)_,

What shall we eat
<0398> (8799)

the seventh
<07637>

year
<08141>_?

behold, we shall not sow
<02232> (8799)_,

nor gather
<0622> (8799)

in our increase
<08393>_:

25:21

Then I will command
<06680> (8765)

my blessing
<01293>

upon you in the sixth
<08345>

year
<08141>_,

and it shall bring forth
<06213> (8804)

fruit
<08393>

for three
<07969>

years
<08141>_.

25:22

And ye shall sow
<02232> (8804)

the eighth
<08066>

year
<08141>_,

and eat
<0398> (8804)

[yet] of old
<03465>

fruit
<08393>

until the ninth
<08671>

year
<08141>_;

until her fruits
<08393>

come in
<0935> (8800)

ye shall eat
<0398> (8799)

[of] the old
<03465>

[store].

25:23

The land
<0776>

shall not be sold
<04376> (8735)

for ever
<06783>_:

for the land
<0776>

[is] mine; for ye [are] strangers
<01616>

and sojourners
<08453>

with me. {for ever: or, to be quite cut off: Heb. for cutting off}

25:24

And in all the land
<0776>

of your possession
<0272>

ye shall grant
<05414> (8799)

a redemption
<01353>

for the land
<0776>_.

25:25

If thy brother
<0251>

be waxen poor
<04134> (8799)_,

and hath sold
<04376> (8804)

away [some] of his possession
<0272>_,

and if any of his kin
<07138>

come
<0935> (8804)

to redeem
<01350> (8802)

it, then shall he redeem
<01350> (8804)

that which his brother
<0251>

sold
<04465>_.

25:26

And if the man
<0376>

have none to redeem
<01350> (8802)

it, and himself
<03027>

be able
<01767> <05381> (8689)

to redeem
<04672> (8804) <01353>

it; {himself...: Heb. his hand hath attained and found sufficiency}

25:27

Then let him count
<02803> (8765)

the years
<08141>

of the sale
<04465>

thereof, and restore
<07725> (8689)

the overplus
<05736> (8802)

unto the man
<0376>

to whom he sold
<04376> (8804)

it; that he may return
<07725> (8804)

unto his possession
<0272>_.

25:28

But if he
<03027>

be not able
<01767>

to restore
<04672> (8804) <07725> (8687)

[it] to him, then that which is sold
<04465>

shall remain in the hand
<03027>

of him that hath bought
<07069> (8802)

it until the year
<08141>

of jubile
<03104>_:

and in the jubile
<03104>

it shall go out
<03318> (8804)_,

and he shall return
<07725> (8804)

unto his possession
<0272>_.

25:29

And if a man
<0376>

sell
<04376> (8799)

a dwelling
<04186>

house
<01004>

in a walled
<02346>

city
<05892>_,

then he may redeem
<01353>

it within a whole
<08552> (8800)

year
<08141>

after it is sold
<04465>_;

[within] a full year
<03117>

may he redeem
<01353>

it.

25:30

And if it be not redeemed
<01350> (8735)

within the space
<04390> (8800)

of a full
<08549>

year
<08141>_,

then the house
<01004>

that [is] in the walled
<02346>

city
<05892>

shall be established
<06965> (8804)

for ever
<06783>

to him that bought
<07069> (8802)

it throughout his generations
<01755>_:

it shall not go out
<03318> (8799)

in the jubile
<03104>_.

25:31

But the houses
<01004>

of the villages
<02691>

which have no wall
<02346>

round about
<05439>

them shall be counted
<02803> (8735)

as the fields
<07704>

of the country
<0776>_:

they may be redeemed
<01353>_,

and they shall go out
<03318> (8799)

in the jubile
<03104>_.

{they may...: Heb. redemption belongeth unto it}

25:32

Notwithstanding the cities
<05892>

of the Levites
<03881>_,

[and] the houses
<01004>

of the cities
<05892>

of their possession
<0272>_,

may the Levites
<03881>

redeem
<01353>

at any time
<05769>_.

25:33

And if a man purchase
<01350> (8799)

of the Levites
<03881>_,

then the house
<01004>

that was sold
<04465>_,

and the city
<05892>

of his possession
<0272>_,

shall go out
<03318> (8804)

in [the year of] jubile
<03104>_:

for the houses
<01004>

of the cities
<05892>

of the Levites
<03881>

[are] their possession
<0272>

among
<08432>

the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>_.

{a man...: or, one of the Levites redeem them}

25:34

But the field
<07704>

of the suburbs
<04054>

of their cities
<05892>

may not be sold
<04376> (8735)_;

for it [is] their perpetual
<05769>

possession
<0272>_.

25:35

And if thy brother
<0251>

be waxen poor
<04134> (8799)_,

and fallen in decay
<04131> (8804)

with thee
<03027>_;

then thou shalt relieve
<02388> (8689)

him: [yea, though he be] a stranger
<01616>_,

or a sojourner
<08453>_;

that he may live
<02416>

with thee. {fallen...: Heb. his hand faileth} {relieve: Heb. strengthen}

25:36

Take
<03947> (8799)

thou no usury
<05392>

of him, or increase
<08636>_:

but fear
<03372> (8804)

thy God
<0430>_;

that thy brother
<0251>

may live
<02416>

with thee.

25:37

Thou shalt not give
<05414> (8799)

him thy money
<03701>

upon usury
<05392>_,

nor lend
<05414> (8799)

him thy victuals
<0400>

for increase
<04768>_.

25:38

I [am] the LORD
<03068>

your God
<0430>_,

which brought you forth
<03318> (8689)

out of the land
<0776>

of Egypt
<04714>_,

to give
<05414> (8800)

you the land
<0776>

of Canaan
<03667>_,

[and] to be your God
<0430>_.

25:39

And if thy brother
<0251>

[that dwelleth] by thee be waxen poor
<04134> (8799)_,

and be sold
<04376> (8738)

unto thee; thou shalt not compel
<05647> (8799)

him to serve
<05656>

as a bondservant
<05650>_:

{compel...: Heb. serve thyself with him with the service, etc}

25:40

[But] as an hired servant
<07916>_,

[and] as a sojourner
<08453>_,

he shall be with thee, [and] shall serve
<05647> (8799)

thee unto the year
<08141>

of jubile
<03104>_:

25:41

And [then] shall he depart
<03318> (8804)

from thee, [both] he and his children
<01121>

with him, and shall return
<07725> (8804)

unto his own family
<04940>_,

and unto the possession
<0272>

of his fathers
<01>

shall he return
<07725> (8799)_.

25:42

For they [are] my servants
<05650>_,

which I brought forth
<03318> (8689)

out of the land
<0776>

of Egypt
<04714>_:

they shall not be sold
<04376> (8735)

as
<04466>

bondmen
<05650>_.

{as...: Heb. with the sale of a bondman}
