So if you had sold property to a neighbor or had acquired land from your neighbor, you are not to cheat one another.

You are to make the purchase from your neighbor based on the number of years since the last Jubilee. He is to sell to you based on the number of remaining harvest years.

You are to increase its price in proportion to a greater amount of years, and decrease its price in proportion to a lesser amount of years, because what he is selling to you is a number of harvests.

You are not to cheat one another, but fear your God, for I am Yahweh your God.

“You are to keep My statutes and ordinances and carefully observe them, so that you may live securely in the land.

"'The land will give its fruit and you may eat until you are satisfied, and you may live securely in the land.

And since ye may say, What shall we eat in the seventh year? Lo! we are not to sow, neither are we to gather our increase!

That way, you are to sow in the eighth year, eating the produce from the old harvest. Until the ninth year when its produce comes in, you'll eat from the old harvest."

"'The land shall not be sold in perpetuity, for the land is mine; for you are strangers and live as foreigners with me.

You are to allow the redemption of any land you occupy.

But houses in villages that have no walls around them are to be classified as open fields. The right to redeem such houses stays in effect, and they are to be released at the Jubilee.

Nevertheless, the cities that belong to the descendants of Levi that is, the houses in the cities that belong to them are to belong to the descendants of Levi perpetually as part of their right of redemption.

The Levites may redeem the house that was sold, and the city of his possession, and it shall be released in the Jubilee; for the houses of the cities of the Levites are their possession among the children of Israel.

And the field of the area of their cities shall not be sold, for it is a possession to them forever.

“If your brother becomes destitute and cannot sustain himself among you, you are to support him as a foreigner or temporary resident, so that he can continue to live among you.

You are not to take interest or profit from him. Instead, you are to fear your God and let your relative live with you.

You are not to lend him your silver with interest or sell him your food for profit.

"If your brother with you becomes so poor that he sells himself to you, you are not to make him serve like a bond slave.

Then he and his children are to be released from you, and he may return to his clan and his ancestral property.

For they are my servants, whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt. They shall not be sold as slaves.

You are not to rule over them harshly but fear your God.

"'As for your male and your female slaves, whom you may have; of the nations that are around you, from them you may buy male and female slaves.

Moreover of the children of the strangers who sojourn among you, of them you may buy, and of their families who are with you, which they have conceived in your land; and they will be your property.

" 'And if [the] alien or [the] temporary resident [who are] with you {prosper}, but your countryman [who is] with him becomes poor and he is sold to an alien, a temporary resident [who is] with you, or to a descendant of an alien's clan,

If there are yet many years, according to them he shall give back the price of his redemption out of the money that he was bought for.

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}.

If he is not redeemed in any of these ways, he and his children are to be released at the Year of Jubilee.

For to me the children of Israel are servants; they are my servants whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt. I am the LORD your God.

"You are not to make worthless idols, images, or pillars for yourselves, nor set up for yourselves carved images to bow down to them in the land, because I am the LORD your God.

"You are to keep my Sabbath and fear my sanctuary. I am the LORD.

If you are guided by my rules, and keep my laws and do them,

Threshing season will extend for you until the season for harvesting grapes, and the season for harvesting grapes will extend until sowing season, so you will eat your bread until you are satisfied, and you will live securely in your land.

And you will put to flight those who are against you, and they will be put to death by your swords.

Then five of you will put to flight a hundred, and a hundred of you will put to flight ten thousand, and all who are against you will be put to death by your swords.

and I have walked habitually in your midst, and have become your God, and ye -- ye are become My people;

And my face will be turned from you, and you will be broken before those who are against you, and your haters will become your rulers, and you will go in flight when no man comes after you.

" 'And if you go against me [in] hostility and you are not willing to listen to me, then I will add a plague onto you seven times according to your sins.

I will send wild animals against you that will deprive you of your children, ravage your livestock, and reduce your numbers until your roads are deserted.

‘And if by these things you are not turned to Me, but act with hostility against Me,

And I will bring a sword upon you, that shall bring the vengeance of my covenant: and when you are gathered together within your cities, I will send the pestilence among you; and you shall be delivered into the hand of the enemy.

'In My breaking to you the staff of bread, then ten women have baked your bread in one oven, and have given back your bread by weight; and ye have eaten, and are not satisfied.

And I myself will lay waste the land, and your enemies who are living in it shall be appalled over it.

And you I scatter among nations, and have drawn out after you a sword, and your land hath been a desolation, and your cities are a waste.

Then the land will enjoy its sabbaths as long as it lies desolate and you are in your enemies' land. Even then the land will rest and enjoy its sabbaths.

"'As for those of you who are left, I will send a faintness into their hearts in the lands of their enemies: and the sound of a driven leaf will put them to flight; and they shall flee, as one flees from the sword; and they will fall when no one pursues.

Those of you who are left will pine away in their iniquity in your enemies' lands; and also in the iniquities of their fathers shall they pine away with them.

I also will walk contrary to them and will bring them into the land of their enemies. If then their uncircumcised hearts are humbled, and they then pay for their iniquity,

Yet for all that, when they are in the land of their enemies, I will not reject them, neither will I abhor them, to destroy them utterly, and to break my covenant with them; for I am the LORD their God;

These are the statutes, ordinances and laws, which the LORD made between him and the children of Israel in Mount Sinai by Moses.

Speak unto the sons of Israel, and thou hast said unto them, When a man maketh a wonderful vow, by thy valuation the persons are Jehovah's.

But if they are from a month even up to five years old, then your valuation shall be five shekels of silver for the male, and for the female your valuation shall be three shekels of silver.

If they are from sixty years old and upward, if it is a male, then your valuation shall be fifteen shekels, and for the female ten shekels.

And if it is any unclean beast, of which offerings are not made to the Lord, then let him take the beast before the priest;

And the priest shall value it, whether it be good or bad: as you value it, who are the priest, so shall it be.

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.

"'But the firstborn of the beasts that pertain unto the LORD, may no man sanctify: whether it be ox or sheep, for they are the LORD's already.

But, if it be among the beasts that are unclean, then shall he ransom it by thine estimate, and add the fifth part of it thereunto, - but, if it is not redeemed, then shall it be sold by thine estimate.

Notwithstanding, no dedicated thing that a man dedicateth unto the LORD, of all his goods - whether it be man or beast or land of his inheritance - shall be sold or redeemed: for all dedicated things are most holy unto the LORD.

"Any tithes of the land from grain grown on the land or from fruit grown on the trees belong to the LORD. They are sacred to the LORD.

All the tithes from cattle and flocks that pass under the measuring rod are sacred to the LORD.

These are the commandments, which the LORD commanded Moses for the children of Israel in mount Sinai.
