Leviticus 25:8-12
Lexham English Bible
The Year of Jubilee
8 “‘And you[a] shall count for yourself seven Sabbaths of years, seven times seven years, and they shall be for you time periods of[b] years: forty-nine[c] years. 9 And you[d] shall cause a loud horn blast[e] to be heard on the seventh month on the tenth of the month; on the Day of Atonement you[f] shall cause a ram’s horn to be heard in all your[g] land. 10 And you[h] shall consecrate the fiftieth year, and you shall proclaim a release in the land for all its inhabitants. It is a Jubilee; it shall be for you, and you shall return. You must return—everyone to his property and everyone to his clan.[i] 11 You[j] shall have the fiftieth year as a Jubilee;[k] you must not reap its aftergrowth, and you must not harvest its unpruned vines. 12 Because it is a Jubilee, it shall be holy to you. You must eat its[l] produce from the field.

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.
