English Standard Version

The Year of Jubilee

⁸“You shall count seven weeks^[a] of years, seven times seven years, so that the time of the seven weeks of years shall give you forty-nine years. ⁹Then you shall sound ^(A)the loud trumpet on the tenth day of the seventh month. ^(B)On the Day of Atonement you shall sound the trumpet throughout all your land. ¹⁰And you shall consecrate the fiftieth year, and ^(C)proclaim liberty throughout the land to all its inhabitants. It shall be a jubilee for you, when each of you shall return to his property and each of ^(D)you shall return to his clan. ¹¹That fiftieth year shall be a jubilee for you; in it ^(E)you shall neither sow nor reap ^(F)what grows of itself nor gather the grapes from the undressed vines. ¹²For it is a jubilee. It shall be holy to you. ^(G)You may eat the produce of the field.^[b]
