"'These are the appointed times of the Lord that you must proclaim as holy assemblies to present a gift to the Lord -- burnt offering, grain offering, sacrifice, and drink offerings, each day according to its regulation,

besides the Sabbaths of the Lord and all your gifts, votive offerings, and freewill offerings which you must give to the Lord.

"'On the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when you gather in the produce of the land, you must celebrate a pilgrim festival of the Lord for seven days. On the first day is a complete rest and on the eighth day is complete rest.

You are to celebrate it as a festival to the Lord seven days each year. This is a permanent statute for you throughout your generations; you must celebrate it in the seventh month.

You are to live in booths for seven days. All the native-born of Israel must live in booths,

You must put pure frankincense on each row, and it will become a memorial portion for the bread, a gift to the Lord.

It will belong to Aaron and his sons, and they must eat it in a holy place because it is most holy to him, a perpetual allotted portion from the gifts of the Lord."

Whoever blasphemes the name of Yahweh is to be put to death; the whole community must stone him. If he blasphemes the Name, he is to be put to death, whether the foreign resident or the native.

One who beats an animal to death must make restitution for it, life for life.

If a man inflicts an injury on his fellow citizen, just as he has done it must be done to him --

fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth -- just as he inflicts an injury on another person that same injury must be inflicted on him.

One who beats an animal to death must make restitution for it, but one who beats a person to death must be put to death.

"Speak to the Israelites and tell them, 'When you enter the land that I am giving you, the land must observe a Sabbath to the Lord.

but in the seventh year the land must have a Sabbath of complete rest -- a Sabbath to the Lord. You must not sow your field or prune your vineyard.

You are not to reap what grows by itself from your crop, or harvest the grapes of your untended vines. It must be a year of complete rest for the land.

So you must consecrate the fiftieth year, and you must proclaim a release in the land for all its inhabitants. That year will be your jubilee; each one of you must return to his property and each one of you must return to his clan.

That fiftieth year will be your jubilee; you must not sow the land, harvest its aftergrowth, or pick the grapes of its unpruned vines.

Because it is a Jubilee, it shall be holy to you. You must eat its produce from the field.

"'In this year of jubilee you must each return to your property.

And when you sell something to your fellow citizen or [you] buy from your neighbor's hand, you must not oppress {one another}.

According to the number of years after the Jubilee, you shall buy from your friend. And he is to sell to you according to the number of years of crops [which may be harvested before you must restore the property to him].

The more years there are, the more you may make its purchase price, and the fewer years there are, the less you must make its purchase price, because he is only selling to you a number of years of produce.

No one is to oppress his fellow citizen, but you must fear your God, because I am the Lord your God.

You must obey my statutes and my regulations; you must be sure to keep them so that you may live securely in the land.

"'If a man sells a residential house in a walled city, its right of redemption must extend until one full year from its sale; its right of redemption must extend to a full calendar year.

The houses of villages, however, which have no wall surrounding them must be considered as the field of the land; they will have the right of redemption and must revert in the jubilee.

As for the cities of the Levites, the houses in the cities which they possess, the Levites must have a perpetual right of redemption.

Whatever property one of the Levites can redeem—a house sold in a city they possess—must be released at the Jubilee, because the houses in the Levitical cities are their possession among the Israelites.

Moreover, the open field areas of their cities must not be sold, because that is their perpetual possession.

You must not lend him your money at interest and you must not sell him food for profit.

“If your brother among you becomes destitute and sells himself to you, you must not force him to do slave labor.

He must be with you as a hired worker, as a resident foreigner; he must serve with you until the year of jubilee,

If many years are still left, he must pay his redemption price in proportion to them based on his purchase price.

but if only a few years remain until the jubilee, he must calculate for himself in keeping with the remaining years and refund it for his redemption.

He must be with the one who bought him like a yearly hired worker. The one who bought him must not rule over him harshly in your sight.

"'You must not make for yourselves idols, so you must not set up for yourselves a carved image or a pillar, and you must not place a sculpted stone in your land to bow down before it, for I am the Lord your God.

You must keep My Sabbaths and revere My sanctuary; I am Yahweh.

I also, must needs go in opposition to them, and bring them into the land of their foes, - Save only that, if, even then, their uncircumcised heart shall be humbled, And, even then, they shall accept as a payment the punishment of their iniquity,

And the land shall be deserted by them, and it shall enjoy its Sabbaths in its being desolate from them, and they themselves must pay for their guilt, {simply because} they rejected my regulations, and their inner self abhorred my statutes.

But if one is too poor to pay the assessment, he must present the person before the priest and the priest will set a value for him. The priest will set a value for him according to what the one making the vow can afford.

He must not replace or exchange it, good for bad or bad for good, and if he does indeed exchange one animal for another animal, then both the original animal and its substitute will be holy.

“If the vow involves any of the unclean animals that may not be brought as an offering to the Lord, the animal must be presented before the priest.

If the one who consecrated the field decides to redeem it, he must add a fifth to the assessed value, and the field will transfer back to him.

the priest will calculate for him the amount of its conversion value until the jubilee year, and he must pay the conversion value on that jubilee day as something that is holy to the Lord.

Every conversion value must be calculated by the standard of the sanctuary shekel; twenty gerahs to the shekel.

If it is one of the unclean livestock, it must be ransomed according to your assessment by adding a fifth of its value to it. If it is not redeemed, it can be sold according to your assessment.

"'Surely anything which a man permanently dedicates to the Lord from all that belongs to him, whether from people, animals, or his landed property, must be neither sold nor redeemed; anything permanently dedicated is most holy to the Lord.

As touching any one devoted, who may be devoted from among men he shall not be ransomed, - he must be, surely put to death.

If a man decides to redeem any part of this tenth, he must add a fifth to its value.

The owner must not examine the animals to distinguish between good and bad, and he must not exchange it. If, however, he does exchange it, both the original animal and its substitute will be holy. It must not be redeemed.'"
