Leviticus 25
New King James Version
The Sabbath of the Seventh Year(A)
25 And the Lord spoke to Moses on Mount (B)Sinai, saying, 2 “Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them: ‘When you come into the land which I give you, then the land shall (C)keep a sabbath to the Lord. 3 Six years you shall sow your field, and six years you shall prune your vineyard, and gather its fruit; 4 but in the (D)seventh year there shall be a sabbath of solemn (E)rest for the land, a sabbath to the Lord. You shall neither sow your field nor prune your vineyard. 5 (F)What grows of its own accord of your harvest you shall not reap, nor gather the grapes of your untended vine, for it is a year of rest for the land. 6 And the sabbath produce of the land shall be food for you: for you, your male and female servants, your hired man, and the stranger who dwells with you, 7 for your livestock and the beasts that are in your land—all its produce shall be for food.
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; (G)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 (H)proclaim liberty throughout all the land to all its inhabitants. It shall be a Jubilee for you; (I)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 (J)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; (K)you shall eat its produce from the field.
13 (L)‘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 (M)oppress one another. 15 (N)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 (O)you shall not [a]oppress one another, (P)but you shall fear your God; for I am the Lord your God.
Provisions for the Seventh Year
18 (Q)‘So you shall observe My statutes and keep My judgments, and perform them; (R)and you will dwell in the land in safety. 19 Then the land will yield its fruit, and (S)you will eat your fill, and dwell there in safety.
20 ‘And if you say, (T)“What shall we eat in the seventh year, since (U)we shall not sow nor gather in our produce?” 21 Then I will (V)command My blessing on you in the (W)sixth year, and it will bring forth produce enough for three years. 22 (X)And you shall sow in the eighth year, and eat (Y)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 (Z)the land is Mine; for you are (AA)strangers and sojourners with Me. 24 And in all the land of your possession you shall grant redemption of the land.
25 (AB)‘If one of your brethren becomes poor, and has sold some of his possession, and if (AC)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 (AD)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; (AE)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 (AF)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 (AG)the field of the common-land of their cities may not be (AH)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 (AI)help him, like a stranger or a sojourner, that he may live with you. 36 (AJ)Take no usury or interest from him; but (AK)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 (AL)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.
The Law Concerning Slavery
39 ‘And if one of your brethren who dwells by you becomes poor, and sells himself to you, you shall not compel him to serve as a slave. 40 As a hired servant and a sojourner he shall be with you, and shall serve you until the Year of Jubilee. 41 And then he shall depart from you—he and his children (AM)with him—and shall return to his own family. He shall return to the possession of his fathers. 42 For they are (AN)My servants, whom I brought out of the land of Egypt; they shall not be sold as slaves. 43 (AO)You shall not rule over him (AP)with [c]rigor, but you (AQ)shall fear your God. 44 And as for your male and female slaves whom you may have—from the nations that are around you, from them you may buy male and female slaves. 45 Moreover you may buy (AR)the children of the strangers who dwell among you, and their families who are with you, which they beget in your land; and they shall become your property. 46 And (AS)you may take them as an inheritance for your children after you, to inherit them as a possession; they shall be your permanent slaves. But regarding your brethren, the children of Israel, you shall not rule over one another with rigor.
47 ‘Now if a sojourner or stranger close to you becomes rich, and one of your brethren who dwells by him becomes poor, and sells himself to the stranger or sojourner close to you, or to a member of the stranger’s family, 48 after he is sold he may be redeemed again. One of his brothers may redeem him; 49 or his uncle or his uncle’s son may redeem him; or anyone who is near of kin to him in his family may redeem him; or if he is able he may redeem himself. 50 Thus he shall reckon with him who bought him: The price of his release shall be according to the number of years, from the year that he was sold to him until the Year of Jubilee; it shall be (AT)according to the time of a hired servant for him. 51 If there are still many years remaining, according to them he shall repay the price of his redemption from the money with which he was bought. 52 And if there remain but a few years until the Year of Jubilee, then he shall reckon with him, and according to his years he shall repay him the price of his redemption. 53 He shall be with him as a yearly hired servant, and he shall not rule with rigor over him in your sight. 54 And if he is not redeemed in these years, then he shall be released in the Year of Jubilee—he and his children with him. 55 For the children of Israel are servants to Me; they are My servants whom I brought out of the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God.

O Ano de Descanso
25 Falou mais o Senhor a Moisés no monte Sinai, dizendo: 2 Fala aos filhos de Israel e dize-lhes: Quando tiverdes entrado na terra, que eu vos dou, então, a terra guardará um sábado ao Senhor. 3 Seis anos semearás a tua terra, e seis anos podarás a tua vinha, e colherás a sua novidade. 4 Porém, ao sétimo ano, haverá sábado de descanso para a terra, um sábado ao Senhor; não semearás o teu campo, nem podarás a tua vinha. 5 O que nascer de si mesmo da tua sega não segarás e as uvas da tua vide não tratada não vindimarás; ano de descanso será para a terra. 6 Mas a novidade do sábado da terra vos será por alimento, a ti, e ao teu servo, e à tua serva, e ao teu jornaleiro, e ao estrangeiro que peregrina contigo; 7 e ao teu gado, e aos teus animais que estão na tua terra, toda a sua novidade será por mantimento.
O Ano do Jubileu
8 Também contarás sete semanas de anos, sete vezes sete anos, de maneira que os dias das sete semanas de anos te serão quarenta e nove anos. 9 Então, no mês sétimo, aos dez do mês, farás passar a trombeta do jubileu; no Dia da Expiação, fareis passar a trombeta por toda a vossa terra. 10 E santificareis o ano quinquagésimo e apregoareis liberdade na terra a todos os seus moradores; Ano de Jubileu vos será, e tornareis, cada um à sua possessão, e tornareis, cada um à sua família. 11 O ano quinquagésimo vos será jubileu; não semeareis, nem segareis o que nele nascer de si mesmo, nem nele vindimareis as uvas das vides não tratadas. 12 Porque jubileu é, santo será para vós; a novidade do campo comereis.
13 Neste Ano de Jubileu, tornareis cada um à sua possessão. 14 E, quando venderdes alguma coisa ao vosso próximo ou a comprardes da mão do vosso próximo, ninguém oprima a seu irmão. 15 Conforme o número dos anos desde o jubileu, comprarás ao teu próximo; e, conforme o número dos anos das novidades, ele venderá a ti. 16 Conforme a multidão dos anos, aumentarás o seu preço; e, conforme a diminuição dos anos, abaixarás o seu preço; porque, conforme o número das novidades, é que ele te vende. 17 Ninguém, pois, oprima ao seu próximo; mas terás temor do teu Deus; porque eu sou o Senhor, vosso Deus.
18 E fazei os meus estatutos, e guardai os meus juízos, e fazei-os; assim, habitareis seguros na terra. 19 E a terra dará o seu fruto, e comereis a fartar e nela habitareis seguros. 20 E se disserdes: Que comeremos no ano sétimo, visto que não havemos de semear nem colher a nossa novidade? 21 Então, eu mandarei a minha bênção sobre vós no sexto ano, para que dê fruto por três anos. 22 E, no oitavo ano, semeareis e comereis da colheita velha até ao ano nono; até que venha a sua novidade, comereis a velha. 23 Também a terra não se venderá em perpetuidade, porque a terra é minha; pois vós sois estrangeiros e peregrinos comigo. 24 Portanto, em toda a terra da vossa possessão dareis resgate à terra.
25 Quando teu irmão empobrecer e vender alguma porção da sua possessão, então, virá o seu resgatador, seu parente, e resgatará o que vendeu seu irmão. 26 E, se alguém não tiver resgatador, porém a sua mão alcançar e achar o que basta para o seu resgate, 27 então, contará os anos desde a sua venda, e o que ficar restituirá ao homem a quem o vendeu, e tornará à sua possessão. 28 Mas, se a sua mão não alcançar o que basta para restituir-lha, então, a que for vendida ficará na mão do comprador até ao Ano do Jubileu; porém, no Ano do Jubileu, sairá, e ele tornará à sua possessão.
29 E, quando alguém vender uma casa de moradia em cidade murada, então, a pode resgatar até que se cumpra o ano da sua venda; durante um ano inteiro, será lícito o seu resgate. 30 Mas, se, passando-se-lhe um ano inteiro, ainda não for resgatada, então, a casa que estiver na cidade que tem muro, em perpetuidade, ficará ao que a comprou, pelas suas gerações; não sairá no jubileu. 31 Mas as casas das aldeias que não têm muro em roda serão estimadas como o campo da terra; para elas haverá resgate, e sairão no jubileu. 32 Mas, no tocante às cidades dos levitas, às casas das cidades da sua possessão, direito perpétuo de resgate terão os levitas. 33 E, havendo feito resgate um dos levitas, então, a casa comprada e a cidade da sua possessão sairão no jubileu; porque as casas das cidades dos levitas são a sua possessão no meio dos filhos de Israel. 34 Mas o campo do arrabalde das suas cidades não se venderá, porque lhes é possessão perpétua.
35 E, quando teu irmão empobrecer, e as suas forças decaírem, então, sustentá-lo-ás como estrangeiro e peregrino, para que viva contigo. 36 Não tomarás dele usura nem ganho; mas do teu Deus terás temor, para que teu irmão viva contigo. 37 Não lhe darás teu dinheiro com usura, nem darás o teu manjar por interesse. 38 Eu sou o Senhor, vosso Deus, que vos tirei da terra do Egito, para vos dar a terra de Canaã, para ser vosso Deus.
39 Quando também teu irmão empobrecer, estando ele contigo, e se vender a ti, não o farás servir serviço de escravo. 40 Como jornaleiro, como peregrino estará contigo; até ao Ano do Jubileu te servirá. 41 Então, sairá do teu serviço, ele e seus filhos com ele, e tornará à sua família e à possessão de seus pais tornará. 42 Porque são meus servos, que tirei da terra do Egito; não serão vendidos como se vendem os escravos. 43 Não te assenhorearás dele com rigor, mas do teu Deus terás temor. 44 E, quanto a teu escravo ou a tua escrava que tiveres, serão das gentes que estão ao redor de vós; deles comprareis escravos e escravas. 45 Também os comprareis dos filhos dos forasteiros que peregrinam entre vós, deles e das suas gerações que estiverem convosco, que tiverem gerado na vossa terra; e vos serão por possessão. 46 E possuí-los-eis por herança para vossos filhos depois de vós, para herdarem a possessão; perpetuamente os fareis servir, mas sobre vossos irmãos, os filhos de Israel, cada um sobre o seu irmão, não vos assenhoreareis dele com rigor.
47 E, quando a mão do estrangeiro e peregrino que está contigo alcançar riqueza, e teu irmão, que está com ele, empobrecer e se vender ao estrangeiro ou peregrino que está contigo, ou à raça da linhagem do estrangeiro, 48 depois que se houver vendido, haverá resgate para ele; um de seus irmãos o resgatará: 49 ou seu tio ou o filho de seu tio o resgatará; ou um dos seus parentes, da sua família, o resgatará; ou, se a sua mão alcançar riqueza, se resgatará a si mesmo. 50 E contará com aquele que o comprou, desde o ano que se vendeu a ele até ao Ano do Jubileu; e o dinheiro da sua venda será conforme o número dos anos, conforme os dias de um jornaleiro estará com ele. 51 Se ainda muitos anos faltarem, proporcionalmente a eles restituirá, do dinheiro pelo qual foi vendido, o seu resgate. 52 E, se ainda restarem poucos anos até ao Ano do Jubileu, então, fará contas com ele; segundo os seus anos, restituirá o seu resgate. 53 Como jornaleiro, de ano em ano, estará com ele; não se assenhoreará sobre ele com rigor diante dos teus olhos. 54 E, se desta sorte se não resgatar, sairá no Ano do Jubileu, ele e seus filhos com ele. 55 Porque os filhos de Israel me são servos; meus servos são eles, que tirei da terra do Egito. Eu sou o Senhor, vosso Deus.

The Sabbath Year
25 The Lord said to Moses at Mount Sinai,(A) 2 “Speak to the Israelites and say to them: ‘When you enter the land I am going to give you, the land itself must observe a sabbath to the Lord. 3 For six years sow your fields, and for six years prune your vineyards and gather their crops.(B) 4 But in the seventh year the land is to have a year of sabbath rest,(C) a sabbath to the Lord. Do not sow your fields or prune your vineyards.(D) 5 Do not reap what grows of itself(E) or harvest the grapes(F) of your untended vines.(G) The land is to have a year of rest. 6 Whatever the land yields during the sabbath year(H) will be food for you—for yourself, your male and female servants, and the hired worker and temporary resident who live among you, 7 as well as for your livestock and the wild animals(I) in your land. Whatever the land produces may be eaten.
The Year of Jubilee(J)(K)
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(L) sounded everywhere on the tenth day of the seventh month;(M) on the Day of Atonement(N) sound the trumpet throughout your land. 10 Consecrate the fiftieth year and proclaim liberty(O) throughout the land to all its inhabitants. It shall be a jubilee(P) for you; each of you is to return to your family property(Q) and to your own clan. 11 The fiftieth year shall be a jubilee(R) for you; do not sow and do not reap what grows of itself or harvest the untended vines.(S) 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(T) 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.(U) 15 You are to buy from your own people on the basis of the number of years(V) 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,(W) because what is really being sold to you is the number of crops. 17 Do not take advantage of each other,(X) but fear your God.(Y) I am the Lord your God.(Z)
18 “‘Follow my decrees and be careful to obey my laws,(AA) and you will live safely in the land.(AB) 19 Then the land will yield its fruit,(AC) and you will eat your fill and live there in safety.(AD) 20 You may ask, “What will we eat in the seventh year(AE) if we do not plant or harvest our crops?” 21 I will send you such a blessing(AF) in the sixth year that the land will yield enough for three years.(AG) 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.(AH)
23 “‘The land(AI) must not be sold permanently, because the land is mine(AJ) and you reside in my land as foreigners(AK) and strangers. 24 Throughout the land that you hold as a possession, you must provide for the redemption(AL) of the land.
25 “‘If one of your fellow Israelites becomes poor and sells some of their property, their nearest relative(AM) is to come and redeem(AN) what they have sold. 26 If, however, there is no one to redeem it for them but later on they prosper(AO) and acquire sufficient means to redeem it themselves, 27 they are to determine the value for the years(AP) 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.(AQ) 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(AR) in the Jubilee, and they can then go back to their property.(AS)
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,(AT) 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.(AU)
35 “‘If any of your fellow Israelites become poor(AV) and are unable to support themselves among you, help them(AW) as you would a foreigner and stranger, so they can continue to live among you. 36 Do not take interest(AX) or any profit from them, but fear your God,(AY) so that they may continue to live among you. 37 You must not lend them money at interest(AZ) 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(BA) and to be your God.(BB)
39 “‘If any of your fellow Israelites become poor and sell themselves to you, do not make them work as slaves.(BC) 40 They are to be treated as hired workers(BD) or temporary residents among you; they are to work for you until the Year of Jubilee. 41 Then they and their children are to be released, and they will go back to their own clans and to the property(BE) of their ancestors.(BF) 42 Because the Israelites are my servants, whom I brought out of Egypt,(BG) they must not be sold as slaves. 43 Do not rule over them ruthlessly,(BH) but fear your God.(BI)
44 “‘Your male and female slaves are to come from the nations around you; from them you may buy slaves. 45 You may also buy some of the temporary residents living among you and members of their clans born in your country, and they will become your property. 46 You can bequeath them to your children as inherited property and can make them slaves for life, but you must not rule over your fellow Israelites ruthlessly.
47 “‘If a foreigner residing among you becomes rich and any of your fellow Israelites become poor and sell themselves(BJ) to the foreigner or to a member of the foreigner’s clan, 48 they retain the right of redemption(BK) after they have sold themselves. One of their relatives(BL) may redeem them: 49 An uncle or a cousin or any blood relative in their clan may redeem them. Or if they prosper,(BM) they may redeem themselves. 50 They and their buyer are to count the time from the year they sold themselves up to the Year of Jubilee.(BN) The price for their release is to be based on the rate paid to a hired worker(BO) for that number of years. 51 If many years remain, they must pay for their redemption a larger share of the price paid for them. 52 If only a few years remain until the Year of Jubilee, they are to compute that and pay for their redemption accordingly.(BP) 53 They are to be treated as workers hired from year to year; you must see to it that those to whom they owe service do not rule over them ruthlessly.(BQ)
54 “‘Even if someone is not redeemed in any of these ways, they and their children are to be released in the Year of Jubilee, 55 for the Israelites belong to me as servants. They are my servants, whom I brought out of Egypt.(BR) I am the Lord your God.(BS)
