'So you shall consecrate the fiftieth year and ^(C1)proclaim ^(F1)a release throughout the land to all its inhabitants. It shall be a jubilee for you, ^(F2)and ^(C2)each of you shall return to his own property, ^(F2)and each of you shall return to his family.

'You shall have the fiftieth year as a jubilee; you shall not sow, nor harvest its aftergrowth, nor gather grapes from its untrimmed vines.

'For it is a jubilee; it shall be holy to you. You shall eat its produce from the field.

'^(C1)On this year of jubilee each of you shall return to his own property.

'Furthermore, if you make a sale to your friend, or buy from your friend's hand, ^(C1)you shall not ^(F1)wrong one another.

'Corresponding to the number of years after the jubilee, you shall buy from your friend; he is to sell to you according to the number of years of crops.

'^(C1)In proportion to ^(F1)a greater number of years you shall increase its price, and in proportion to ^(F2)fewer years you shall decrease its price, because it is the number of crops that he is selling to you.
