There shall be one judgment for the stranger and the native, for I am the Lord your God.

Speak to the children of Israel, and thou shalt say to them, Whensoever ye shall have entered into the land, which I give to you, then the land shall rest which I give to you, for its sabbaths to the Lord.

And the sabbaths of the land shall be food for thee, and for thy man-servant, and for thy maid-servant, and thy hireling, and the stranger that abides with thee.

And for thy cattle, and for the wild beats that are in thy land, shall every fruit of it be for food.

And ye shall sanctify the year, the fiftieth year, and ye shall proclaim a release upon the land to all that inhabit it; it shall be given a year of release, a jubilee for you; and each one shall depart to his possession, and ye shall go each to his family.

For it is a jubilee of release; it shall be holy to you, ye shall eat its fruits off the fields.

According as there may be a greater number of years he shall increase the value of his possession, and according as there may be a less number of years he shall lessen the value of his possession; for according to the number of his crops, so shall he sell to thee.

Then will I send my blessing upon you in the sixth year, and the land shall produce its fruits for three years.

And the land shall not be sold for a permanence; for the land is mine, because ye are strangers and sojourners before me.

And in every land of your possession, ye shall allow ransoms for the land.

And the lands set apart for their cities shall not be sold, because this is their perpetual possession.

He shall be with thee as a hireling or a sojourner, he shall work for thee till the year of release:

And of the sons of the sojourners that are among you, of these ye shall buy and of their relations, all that shall be in your lands; let them be to you for a possession.

And ye shall distribute them to your children after you, and they shall be to you permanent possessions for ever: but of your brethren the children of Israel, one shall not oppress his brother in labours.

after he is sold to him there shall be redemption for him, one of his brethren shall redeem him.

For the children of Israel are my servants: they are my attendants, whom I brought out of the land of Egypt.

I am the Lord your God: ye shall not make to yourselves gods made with hands, or graven; neither shall ye rear up a pillar for yourselves, neither shall ye set up a stone for an object in your land to worship it: I am the Lord your God.

And ye shall eat that which is old and very old, and bring forth the old to make way for the new.

And if ye still refuse to hearken to me, then will I chasten you yet more even seven times for your sins.

I also will walk with you with a perverse spirit, and I also will smite you seven times for your sins.
