New King James Version
The Year of Jubilee
8 ‘And you shall count seven sabbaths of years for yourself, seven times seven years; and the time of the seven sabbaths of years shall be to you forty-nine years. 9 Then you shall cause the trumpet of the Jubilee to sound on the tenth day of the seventh month; (A)on the Day of Atonement you shall make the trumpet to sound throughout all your land. 10 And you shall consecrate the fiftieth year, and (B)proclaim liberty throughout all the land to all its inhabitants. It shall be a Jubilee for you; (C)and each of you shall return to his possession, and each of you shall return to his family. 11 That fiftieth year shall be a Jubilee to you; in it (D)you shall neither sow nor reap what grows of its own accord, nor gather the grapes of your untended vine. 12 For it is the Jubilee; it shall be holy to you; (E)you shall eat its produce from the field.
13 (F)‘In this Year of Jubilee, each of you shall return to his possession. 14 And if you sell anything to your neighbor or buy from your neighbor’s hand, you shall not (G)oppress one another. 15 (H)According 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. 16 According 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. 17 Therefore (I)you shall not [a]oppress one another, (J)but you shall fear your God; for I am the Lord your God.
Provisions for the Seventh Year
18 (K)‘So you shall observe My statutes and keep My judgments, and perform them; (L)and you will dwell in the land in safety. 19 Then the land will yield its fruit, and (M)you will eat your fill, and dwell there in safety.
20 ‘And if you say, (N)“What shall we eat in the seventh year, since (O)we shall not sow nor gather in our produce?” 21 Then I will (P)command My blessing on you in the (Q)sixth year, and it will bring forth produce enough for three years. 22 (R)And you shall sow in the eighth year, and eat (S)old produce until the ninth year; until its produce comes in, you shall eat of the old harvest.
Redemption of Property
23 ‘The land shall not be sold permanently, for (T)the land is Mine; for you are (U)strangers and sojourners with Me. 24 And in all the land of your possession you shall grant redemption of the land.
25 (V)‘If one of your brethren becomes poor, and has sold some of his possession, and if (W)his redeeming relative comes to redeem it, then he may redeem what his brother sold. 26 Or if the man has no one to redeem it, but he himself becomes able to redeem it, 27 then (X)let him count the years since its sale, and restore the remainder to the man to whom he sold it, that he may return to his possession. 28 But if he is not able to have it restored to himself, then what was sold shall remain in the hand of him who bought it until the Year of Jubilee; (Y)and in the Jubilee it shall be released, and he shall return to his possession.
29 ‘If a man sells a house in a walled city, then he may redeem it within a whole year after it is sold; within a full year he may redeem it. 30 But if it is not redeemed within the space of a full year, then the house in the walled city shall belong permanently to him who bought it, throughout his generations. It shall not be released in the Jubilee. 31 However the houses of villages which have no wall around them shall be counted as the fields of the country. They may be redeemed, and they shall be released in the Jubilee. 32 Nevertheless (Z)the cities of the Levites, and the houses in the cities of their possession, the Levites may redeem at any time. 33 And if a man purchases a house from the Levites, then the house that was sold in the city of his possession shall be released in the Jubilee; for the houses in the cities of the Levites are their possession among the children of Israel. 34 But (AA)the field of the common-land of their cities may not be (AB)sold, for it is their perpetual possession.
Lending to the Poor
35 ‘If one of your brethren becomes poor, and [b]falls into poverty among you, then you shall (AC)help him, like a stranger or a sojourner, that he may live with you. 36 (AD)Take no usury or interest from him; but (AE)fear your God, that your brother may live with you. 37 You shall not lend him your money for usury, nor lend him your food at a profit. 38 (AF)I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, to give you the land of Canaan and to be your God.

Leviticus 25:8-38
New International Version
The Year of Jubilee(A)(B)
8 “‘Count off seven sabbath years—seven times seven years—so that the seven sabbath years amount to a period of forty-nine years. 9 Then have the trumpet(C) sounded everywhere on the tenth day of the seventh month;(D) on the Day of Atonement(E) sound the trumpet throughout your land. 10 Consecrate the fiftieth year and proclaim liberty(F) throughout the land to all its inhabitants. 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.
13 “‘In this Year of Jubilee(K) everyone is to return to their own property.
14 “‘If you sell land to any of your own people or buy land from them, do not take advantage of each other.(L) 15 You are to buy from your own people on the basis of the number of years(M) since the Jubilee. And they are to sell to you on the basis of the number of years left for harvesting crops. 16 When the years are many, you are to increase the price, and when the years are few, you are to decrease the price,(N) because what is really being sold to you is the number of crops. 17 Do not take advantage of each other,(O) but fear your God.(P) I am the Lord your God.(Q)
18 “‘Follow my decrees and be careful to obey my laws,(R) and you will live safely in the land.(S) 19 Then the land will yield its fruit,(T) and you will eat your fill and live there in safety.(U) 20 You may ask, “What will we eat in the seventh year(V) if we do not plant or harvest our crops?” 21 I will send you such a blessing(W) in the sixth year that the land will yield enough for three years.(X) 22 While you plant during the eighth year, you will eat from the old crop and will continue to eat from it until the harvest of the ninth year comes in.(Y)
23 “‘The land(Z) must not be sold permanently, because the land is mine(AA) and you reside in my land as foreigners(AB) and strangers. 24 Throughout the land that you hold as a possession, you must provide for the redemption(AC) of the land.
25 “‘If one of your fellow Israelites becomes poor and sells some of their property, their nearest relative(AD) is to come and redeem(AE) what they have sold. 26 If, however, there is no one to redeem it for them but later on they prosper(AF) and acquire sufficient means to redeem it themselves, 27 they are to determine the value for the years(AG) since they sold it and refund the balance to the one to whom they sold it; they can then go back to their own property.(AH) 28 But if they do not acquire the means to repay, what was sold will remain in the possession of the buyer until the Year of Jubilee. It will be returned(AI) in the Jubilee, and they can then go back to their property.(AJ)
29 “‘Anyone who sells a house in a walled city retains the right of redemption a full year after its sale. During that time the seller may redeem it. 30 If it is not redeemed before a full year has passed, the house in the walled city shall belong permanently to the buyer and the buyer’s descendants. It is not to be returned in the Jubilee. 31 But houses in villages without walls around them are to be considered as belonging to the open country. They can be redeemed, and they are to be returned in the Jubilee.
32 “‘The Levites always have the right to redeem their houses in the Levitical towns,(AK) which they possess. 33 So the property of the Levites is redeemable—that is, a house sold in any town they hold—and is to be returned in the Jubilee, because the houses in the towns of the Levites are their property among the Israelites. 34 But the pastureland belonging to their towns must not be sold; it is their permanent possession.(AL)
35 “‘If any of your fellow Israelites become poor(AM) and are unable to support themselves among you, help them(AN) as you would a foreigner and stranger, so they can continue to live among you. 36 Do not take interest(AO) or any profit from them, but fear your God,(AP) so that they may continue to live among you. 37 You must not lend them money at interest(AQ) or sell them food at a profit. 38 I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of Egypt to give you the land of Canaan(AR) and to be your God.(AS)
