Leviticus 25:11-20
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 25
11You shall have the fiftieth year as a jubilee; you shall not sow, nor harvest its aftergrowth, nor gather grapes from its untrimmed vines. 12For it is a jubilee; it shall be holy to you. You shall eat its produce from the field.
13‘On this year of jubilee each of you shall return to his own property.
14Furthermore, if you make a sale to your friend, or buy from your friend’s hand, you shall not wrong one another.
15Corresponding 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.
16In proportion to a greater number of years you shall increase its price, and in proportion to fewer years you shall decrease its price, because it is the number of crops that he is selling to you.
17So you shall not wrong one another, but you shall fear your God; for I am the Lord your God.
18‘You shall therefore follow My statutes and keep My judgments so as to carry them out, so that you may live securely on the land.
19Then the land will yield its produce, so that you can eat your fill and live securely on it.
20But if you say, 'What are we going to eat in the seventh year if we do not sow nor gather in our produce?'
King James Version
Chapter 25
11A jubile shall that fiftieth year be unto you: ye shall not sow, neither reap that which groweth of itself in it, nor gather the grapes in it of thy vine undressed. 12For it is the jubile; it shall be holy unto you: ye shall eat the increase thereof out of the field. 13In the year of this jubile ye shall return every man unto his possession. 14And if thou sell ought unto thy neighbour, or buyest ought of thy neighbour's hand, ye shall not oppress one another: 15According 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: 16According 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. 17Ye shall not therefore oppress one another; but thou shalt fear thy God: for I am the LORD your God. 18Wherefore ye shall do my statutes, and keep my judgments, and do them; and ye shall dwell in the land in safety. 19And the land shall yield her fruit, and ye shall eat your fill, and dwell therein in safety. 20And if ye shall say, What shall we eat the seventh year? behold, we shall not sow, nor gather in our increase:Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 25
11The fiftieth year will be your Jubilee; you are not to sow, reap what grows by itself, or harvest its untended vines. 12It is to be holy to you because it is the Jubilee; you may only eat its produce directly from the field.
13"In this Year of Jubilee, each of you will return to his property.
14If you make a sale to your neighbor or a purchase from him, do not cheat one another.
15You are to make the purchase from your neighbor based on the number of years since the last Jubilee. He is to sell to you based on the number of remaining harvest years.
16You are to increase its price in proportion to a greater amount of years, and decrease its price in proportion to a lesser amount of years, because what he is selling to you is a number of harvests.
17You are not to cheat one another, but fear your God, for I am the Lord your God.
18"You are to keep my statutes and ordinances and carefully observe them, so that you may live securely in the land.
19Then the land will yield its fruit, so that you can eat, be satisfied, and live securely in the land.
20If you wonder, 'What will we eat in the seventh year if we don't sow or gather our produce? '
New Living Translation
Chapter 25
11This fiftieth year will be a jubilee for you. During that year you must not plant your fields or store away any of the crops that grow on their own, and don’t gather the grapes from your unpruned vines. 12It will be a jubilee year for you, and you must keep it holy. But you may eat whatever the land produces on its own. 13In the Year of Jubilee each of you may return to the land that belonged to your ancestors.
14When you make an agreement with your neighbor to buy or sell property, you must not take advantage of each other.
15When you buy land from your neighbor, the price you pay must be based on the number of years since the last jubilee. The seller must set the price by taking into account the number of years remaining until the next Year of Jubilee.
16The more years until the next jubilee, the higher the price; the fewer years, the lower the price. After all, the person selling the land is actually selling you a certain number of harvests.
17Show your fear of God by not taking advantage of each other. I am the Lord your God.
18If you want to live securely in the land, follow my decrees and obey my regulations.
19Then the land will yield large crops, and you will eat your fill and live securely in it.
20But you might ask, ‘What will we eat during the seventh year, since we are not allowed to plant or harvest crops that year?’
English Standard Version
Chapter 25
11That fiftieth year shall be a jubilee for you; in it you shall neither sow nor reap what grows of itself nor gather the grapes from the undressed vines. 12For it is a jubilee. It shall be holy to you. You may eat the produce of the field.
13“In this year of jubilee each of you shall return to his property.
14And if you make a sale to your neighbor or buy from your neighbor, you shall not wrong one another.
15You shall pay your neighbor according to the number of years after the jubilee, and he shall sell to you according to the number of years for crops.
16If the years are many, you shall increase the price, and if the years are few, you shall reduce the price, for it is the number of the crops that he is selling to you.
17You shall not wrong one another, but you shall fear your God, for I am the LORD your God.
18“Therefore you shall do my statutes and keep my rules and perform them, and then you will dwell in the land securely.
19The land will yield its fruit, and you will eat your fill and dwell in it securely.
20And if you say, ‘What shall we eat in the seventh year, if we may not sow or gather in our crop?’
New International Version
Chapter 25
11The fiftieth year shall be a jubilee for you; do not sow and do not reap what grows of itself or harvest the untended vines. 12For it is a jubilee and is to be holy for you; eat only what is taken directly from the fields.
14'If you sell land to any of your own people or buy land from them, do not take advantage of each other.
15You are to buy from your own people on the basis of the number of years since the Jubilee. And they are to sell to you on the basis of the number of years left for harvesting crops.
16When the years are many, you are to increase the price, and when the years are few, you are to decrease the price, because what is really being sold to you is the number of crops.
17Do not take advantage of each other, but fear your God. I am the LORD your God.
New King James Version
Chapter 25
11That fiftieth year shall be a Jubilee to you; in it you shall neither sow nor reap what grows of its own accord, nor gather the grapes of your untended vine. 12For it is the Jubilee; it shall be holy to you; you shall eat its produce from the field.
13‘In this Year of Jubilee, each of you shall return to his possession.
14And if you sell anything to your neighbor or buy from your neighbor’s hand, you shall not oppress one another.
15According to the number of years after the Jubilee you shall buy from your neighbor, and according to the number of years of crops he shall sell to you.
16According to the multitude of years you shall increase its price, and according to the fewer number of years you shall diminish its price; for he sells to you according to the number of the years of the crops.
17Therefore you shall not oppress one another, but you shall fear your God; for I am the Lord your God.
