Leviticus 25:18-55

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}

25:43

Thou shalt not rule
<07287> (8799)

over him with rigour
<06531>_;

but shalt fear
<03372> (8804)

thy God
<0430>_.

25:44

Both thy bondmen
<05650>_,

and thy bondmaids
<0519>_,

which thou shalt have, [shall be] of the heathen
<01471>

that are round about
<05439>

you; of them shall ye buy
<07069> (8799)

bondmen
<05650>

and bondmaids
<0519>_.

25:45

Moreover of the children
<01121>

of the strangers
<08453>

that do sojourn
<01481> (8802)

among you, of them shall ye buy
<07069> (8799)_,

and of their families
<04940>

that [are] with you, which they begat
<03205> (8689)

in your land
<0776>_:

and they shall be your possession
<0272>_.

25:46

And ye shall take them as an inheritance
<05157> (8694)

for your children
<01121>

after
<0310>

you, to inherit
<03423> (8800)

[them for] a possession
<0272>_;

they shall be your bondmen
<05647> (8799)

for ever
<05769>_:

but over your brethren
<0251>

the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>_,

ye shall not rule
<07287> (8799)

one
<0376>

over another
<0251>

with rigour
<06531>_.

{they...: Heb. ye shall serve yourselves with them}

25:47

And if a sojourner
<01616>

or stranger
<08453>

wax rich
<05381> (8686)

by thee
<03027>_,

and thy brother
<0251>

[that dwelleth] by him wax poor
<04134> (8802)_,

and sell
<04376> (8738)

himself unto the stranger
<01616>

[or] sojourner
<08453>

by thee, or to the stock
<06133>

of the stranger's
<01616>

family
<04940>_:

{wax rich...: Heb. his hand obtain, etc}

25:48

After
<0310>

that he is sold
<04376> (8738)

he may be redeemed again
<01353>_;

one
<0259>

of his brethren
<0251>

may redeem
<01350> (8799)

him:

25:49

Either his uncle
<01730>_,

or his uncle's
<01730>

son
<01121>_,

may redeem
<01350> (8799)

him, or [any] that is nigh
<07607>

of kin
<01320>

unto him of his family
<04940>

may redeem
<01350> (8799)

him; or if he be able
<05381> (8689)_,

he may redeem
<01350> (8738)

himself
<03027>_.

25:50

And he shall reckon
<02803> (8765)

with him that bought
<07069> (8802)

him from the year
<08141>

that he was sold
<04376> (8736)

to him unto the year
<08141>

of jubile
<03104>_:

and the price
<03701>

of his sale
<04465>

shall be according unto the number
<04557>

of years
<08141>_,

according to the time
<03117>

of an hired servant
<07916>

shall it be with him.

25:51

If [there be] yet many
<07227>

years
<08141>

[behind], according
<06310>

unto them he shall give again
<07725> (8686)

the price of his redemption
<01353>

out of the money
<03701>

that he was bought
<04736>

for.

25:52

And if there remain
<07604> (8738)

but few
<04592>

years
<08141>

unto the year
<08141>

of jubile
<03104>_,

then he shall count
<02803> (8765)

with him, [and] according
<06310>

unto his years
<08141>

shall he give him again
<07725> (8686)

the price of his redemption
<01353>_.

25:53

[And] as a yearly
<08141> <08141>

hired servant
<07916>

shall he be with him: [and the other] shall not rule
<07287> (8799)

with rigour
<06531>

over him in thy sight
<05869>_.

25:54

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

in these [years], then he shall go out
<03318> (8804)

in the year
<08141>

of jubile
<03104>_,

[both] he, and his children
<01121>

with him. {in these...: or, by these means}

25:55

For unto me the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>

[are] servants
<05650>_;

they [are] my servants
<05650>

whom I brought forth
<03318> (8689)

out of the land
<0776>

of Egypt
<04714>_:

I [am] the LORD
<03068>

your God
<0430>_.
