And [you will keep] the Feast of Harvest, [with] the firstfruits of your work, what you sow in the field. And [you will keep] the Feast of Harvest Gathering when the year goes out, when you gather your work from the field.

And you must hold it [as] a festival for Yahweh [for] seven days in the year; [it shall be] a {lasting statute} throughout your generations; in the seventh month you must hold it.

But in the seventh year it shall be {a Sabbath of complete rest} for the land--a Sabbath for Yahweh; you must not sow your field, and you must not prune your vineyard.

{You shall have the fiftieth year as a Jubilee}; you must not reap its aftergrowth, and you must not harvest its unpruned vines.

" 'In this Year of Jubilee {each of you shall return} to his property.

And if you should say, "What shall we eat in the seventh year, {if} we do not sow and we do not gather its yield?"

then I will command my blessing for you in the sixth year, so that it will make the yield for three years.

And you will sow [in] the eighth year, and you shall eat from the old yield; until the ninth year, until the coming of its yield, you shall eat [the] old [yield].

He shall be with you like a hired worker, like a temporary resident; he shall work with you until the Year of Jubilee.

And he shall calculate with his buyer from the year of {his selling himself} until the Jubilee; and the value of his selling shall be according to the number of years--it shall be with him like a hired worker's days.

And if [there are] a few years left until the Year of Jubilee, then he shall calculate for himself; he shall restore his redemption {according to the number of his years}.

And if he is not redeemed by [any of] these [ways], then he and his sons with him shall go out in the Year of Jubilee.

If he consecrates his field from the Year of Jubilee, it shall stand as your proper value.

But if he consecrates his field after the Jubilee, then the priest shall calculate the money for him {according to the number of years} that are left over until the Year of Jubilee; and it shall be deducted from your proper value.

then the priest shall calculate for him the {amount} of your proper value until the year of the Jubilee, and he shall give your proper value on that day [as] a holy object for Yahweh.

In the Year of the Jubilee the field shall return to the one who bought it from him, to the one whose property the land [is].
