In the yeere of this Iubile yee shall returne euery man vnto his possession.

And if thou sell ought vnto thy neighbour, or buyest ought of thy neighbours hand, ye shall not oppresse one another.

According to the number of yeres after the Iubile, thou shalt buy of thy neighbour, and according vnto the number of yeeres of the fruits, he shall sell vnto thee.

According to the multitude of yeeres, thou shalt encrease the price thereof, and according to the fewnesse of yeeres, thou shalt diminish the price of it: for according to the number of the yeeres of the fruites doeth hee sell vnto thee.

Yee shall not therefore oppresse one another; but thou shalt feare thy God: For I am the Lord your God.

Wherefore ye shall do my Statutes, and keepe my Iudgements, and doe them, and ye shall dwell in the land in safetie.

And the land shall yeeld her fruit, and ye shal eat your fill, and dwell therin in safetie.

And if ye shall say, What shall we eate the seuenth yeere? Behold, we shall not sow, nor gather in our increase:

Then I will command my blessing vpon you in the sixt yeere, and it shall bring forth fruit for three yeeres.

And ye shall sow the eight yeere, and eat yet of old fruit, vntill the ninth yeere: vntill her fruits come in, ye shall eate of the old store.

The land shall not be sold for euer: for the land is mine, for ye were strangers and soiourners with me.

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

If thy brother be waxen poore, and hath sold away some of his possession, and if any of his kinne come to redeeme it, then shall hee redeeme that which his brother sold.

And if the man haue none to redeeme it, and himselfe bee able to redeeme it:

Then let him count the yeeres of the sale therof, and restore the ouerplus vnto the man, to whom he sold it, that he may returne vnto his possession.

But if he be not able to restore it to him, then that which is sold, shall remaine in the hand of him that hath bought it, vntill the yeere of Iubile: and in the Iubile it shall goe out, and he shall returne vnto his possession.
