He shall then sprinkle seven times the one who is to be cleansed from the leprosy and shall pronounce him clean, and shall let the live bird go free over the open field.

However, he shall let the live bird go free outside the city into the open field. So he shall make atonement for the house, and it will be clean.”

The reason is so that the sons of Israel may bring their sacrifices which they were sacrificing in the open field, that they may bring them in to the Lord, at the doorway of the tent of meeting to the priest, and sacrifice them as sacrifices of peace offerings to the Lord.

‘Now when you reap the harvest of your land, you shall not reap to the very corners of your field, nor shall you gather the gleanings of your harvest.

‘You are to keep My statutes. You shall not breed together two kinds of your cattle; you shall not sow your field with two kinds of seed, nor wear a garment upon you of two kinds of material mixed together.

‘When you reap the harvest of your land, moreover, you shall not reap to the very corners of your field nor gather the gleaning of your harvest; you are to leave them for the needy and the alien. I am the Lord your God.’”

Six years you shall sow your field, and six years you shall prune your vineyard and gather in its crop,

but during the seventh year the land shall have a sabbath rest, a sabbath to the Lord; you shall not sow your field nor prune your vineyard.

For it is a jubilee; it shall be holy to you. You shall eat its crops out of the field.

then I shall give you rains in their season, so that the land will yield its produce and the trees of the field will bear their fruit.

I will let loose among you the beasts of the field, which will bereave you of your children and destroy your cattle and reduce your number so that your roads lie deserted.

If he consecrates his field as of the year of jubilee, according to your valuation it shall stand.

If he consecrates his field after the jubilee, however, then the priest shall calculate the price for him proportionate to the years that are left until the year of jubilee; and it shall be deducted from your valuation.

If the one who consecrates it should ever wish to redeem the field, then he shall add one-fifth of your valuation price to it, so that it may pass to him.

Yet if he will not redeem the field, but has sold the field to another man, it may no longer be redeemed;

and when it reverts in the jubilee, the field shall be holy to the Lord, like a field set apart; it shall be for the priest as his property.

Or if he consecrates to the Lord a field which he has bought, which is not a part of the field of his own property,

In the year of jubilee the field shall return to the one from whom he bought it, to whom the possession of the land belongs.
