It shall be a jubilee^(G) for you; each of you is to return to your family property^(H) and to your own clan. ¹¹ The fiftieth year shall be a jubilee^(I) for you; do not sow and do not reap what grows of itself or harvest the untended vines.^{(J) 12} For it is a jubilee and is to be holy for you; eat only what is taken directly from the fields.
