In the year of this jubile ye shall return every man unto his possession.

In this Year of Jubilee, each of you shall return to his own property.

And if thou sell ought unto thy neighbour, or buyest ought of thy neighbour’s hand, ye shall not oppress one another:

If you make a sale to your neighbor or a purchase from him, you must not take advantage of each other.

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:

You are to buy from your neighbor according to the number of years since the last Jubilee; he is to sell to you according to the number of harvest years remaining.

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.

You shall increase the price in proportion to a greater number of years, or decrease it in proportion to a lesser number of years; for he is selling you a given number of harvests.

Ye shall not therefore oppress one another; but thou shalt fear thy God: for I am the LORD your God.

Do not take advantage of each other, but fear your God; for I am the LORD your God.

Wherefore ye shall do my statutes, and keep my judgments, and do them; and ye shall dwell in the land in safety.

You are to keep My statutes and carefully observe My judgments, so that you may dwell securely in the land.

And the land shall yield her fruit, and ye shall eat your fill, and dwell therein in safety.

Then the land will yield its fruit, so that you can eat your fill and dwell in safety in the land.

And if ye shall say, What shall we eat the seventh year? behold, we shall not sow, nor gather in our increase:

Now you may wonder, ‘What will we eat in the seventh year if we do not sow or gather our produce?’

Then I will command my blessing upon you in the sixth year, and it shall bring forth fruit for three years.

But I will send My blessing upon you in the sixth year, so that the land will yield a crop sufficient for three years.

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.

While you are sowing in the eighth year, you will be eating from the previous harvest, until the ninth year’s harvest comes in.

The land shall not be sold for ever: for the land is mine; for ye are strangers and sojourners with me.

The land must not be sold permanently, because it is Mine, and you are but foreigners and residents with Me.

And in all the land of your possession ye shall grant a redemption for the land.

Thus for every piece of property you possess, you must provide for the redemption of the land.

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.

If your brother becomes impoverished and sells some of his property, his nearest of kin may come and redeem what his brother has sold.

And if the man have none to redeem it, and himself be able to redeem it;

Or if a man has no one to redeem it for him, but he prospers and acquires enough to redeem his land,

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.

he shall calculate the years since its sale, repay the balance to the man to whom he sold it, and return to his property.

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.

But if he cannot obtain enough to repay him, what he sold will remain in possession of the buyer until the Year of Jubilee. In the Jubilee, however, it is to be released, so that he may return to his property.

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.

If a man sells a house in a walled city, he retains his right of redemption until a full year after its sale; during that year it may be redeemed.

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.

If it is not redeemed by the end of a full year, then the house in the walled city is permanently transferred to its buyer and his descendants. It is not to be released in the Jubilee.

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.

But houses in villages with no walls around them are to be considered as open fields. They may be redeemed, and they shall be released in the Jubilee.

Notwithstanding the cities of the Levites, and the houses of the cities of their possession, may the Levites redeem at any time.

As for the cities of the Levites, the Levites always have the right to redeem their houses in the cities they possess.

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.

So whatever belongs to the Levites may be redeemed—a house sold in a city they possess—and must be released in the Jubilee, because the houses in the cities of the Levites are their possession among the Israelites.

But the field of the suburbs of their cities may not be sold; for it is their perpetual possession.

But the open pastureland around their cities may not be sold, for this is their permanent possession.
