Leviticus
Chapter 25
1-2~~And
Jehovah/God spoke/'communicated doctrine categorically'
{dabar - Piel intensive stem}
unto
Moses in mount Sinai, saying, 2~~
Speak
unto the children of Israel, and say unto them,
When
you come into the land which I give you,
then
shall the land keep a Sabbath unto Jehovah/God.
{Sabbatical
Years}
3-4~~Six
years you shall sow your field,
and
six years you shall prune your vineyard,
and
gather in the fruit thereof; 4~~
but
in the seventh year shall be a Sabbath
a
rest unto the land,
a
Sabbath for Jehovah/God . . .
you
shall neither sow your field,
nor
prune your vineyard.
5
That which grows of its own accord of your harvest
you
shall not reap,
neither
gather the grapes of your vine undressed.
For
it is a year of rest unto the land.
6
And the Sabbath of the land
shall
be food/meat for you;
for
you, and for your servant, and for your maid,
and
for your hired servant,
and
for your stranger who sojourns with you, 7
and
for your cattle,
and
for the animal/beast that are in your land,
shall
all the increase thereof be food/meat.
8
And you shall number seven Sabbaths of years unto you,
seven
times seven years;
and
the space of the seven Sabbaths of years
shall
be unto you forty and nine years.
9~~Then
shall you cause the trumpet of the jubilee
to
sound on the tenth day of the seventh month,
on
the day of atonement
shall
you make the trumpet sound
throughout
all your land.
{Note.
Every 50th Year, was the Year of Jubilee. And they started over. All
slaves would be freed and all property given back to the original owner.}
10~~And
you shall 'set apart'/hallow the fiftieth year,
and
proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof.
It
shall be a jubilee unto you.
And
you shall return every man unto his possession,
and
you shall return every man unto his family.
11~~A
jubilee shall that fiftieth year be unto you.
You
shall not sow,
neither
reap that which grows of itself in it,
nor
gather the grapes in it
of
your vine undressed.
12
For it is the jubilee;
it
shall be holy unto you.
You
shall eat the increase thereof out of the field.
13~~
In the year of this jubilee
you
shall return every man unto his possession.
14
And if you sell any unto your neighbor/
'someone
in his vicinity' {`amiyth},
or
buy any of your neighbor/
'someone
in his vicinity' {`amiyth}'s hand,
you
shall not oppress one another.
15
According to the number of years
after
the jubilee
you
shall buy of your neighbor/
'someone
in his vicinity' {`amiyth},
and
according unto the number of years of the fruits
he
shall sell unto you.
16
According to the multitude of years
you
shall increase the price thereof,
and
according to the fewness of years
you
shall diminish the price of it.
For
according to the number of the years
of
the fruits does he sell unto you.
17~~You
shall not therefore oppress one another,
but
you shall 'be occupied with'/
'have
respect for' Your 'Elohiym/Godhead.
For
I . . . {am} Jehovah/God your 'Elohiym/Godhead.
18
Wherefore you shall do my statutes,
and
keep My judgments, and do them;
and
you shall dwell in the land in safety.
19
And the land shall yield her fruit,
and
you shall eat your fill,
and
dwell therein in safety.
20
And if you shall say,
What
shall we eat the seventh year?
Behold,
we shall not sow, nor gather in our increase.
21
Then I will command my blessing upon you in the sixth year,
and
it shall bring forth fruit for three years.
22
And you shall sow the eighth year,
and
eat yet of old fruit until the ninth year;
until
her fruits come in you shall eat of the old store.
23
The land shall not be sold forever.
For
the land is Mine;
for
you are strangers and sojourners with Me.
24
And in all the land of your possession
you
shall grant a redemption for the land.
25
If your brother has grown/waxen poor,
and
has sold away some of his possession,
and
if any of his kin come to redeem it,
then
shall he redeem that which his brother sold.
26
And if the man have none to redeem it,
and
himself be able to redeem it; 27
then
let him count the years of the sale thereof,
and
restore the overplus unto the man to whom he sold it;
that
he may return unto his possession.
28
But if he be not able to restore it to him,
then
that which is sold shall remain in the hand of him
who
has bought it until the year of jubilee.
And
in the jubilee it shall go out,
and
he shall return unto his possession.
29
And if a man sell a dwelling house in a walled city,
then
he may redeem it within a whole year after it is sold;
within
a full year may he redeem it.
30
And if it be not redeemed within the space of a full year,
then
the house that is in the walled city
shall
be established forever to him
who
bought it throughout his generations.
It
shall not go out in the jubilee.
31
But the houses of the villages
which
have no wall round about them
shall
be counted as the fields of the country.
They
may be redeemed, and they shall go out in the jubilee.
32
Notwithstanding the cities of the Levites,
and
the houses of the cities of their possession,
may
the Levites redeem at any time.
33
And if a man purchase of the Levites,
then
the house that was sold,
and
the city of his possession,
shall
go out in the year of jubilee.
For
the houses of the cities of the Levites
are
their possession among the children of Israel.
34
But the field of the suburbs of their cities may not be sold;
for
it is their perpetual possession.
35
And if your brother has grown/waxen poor,
and
fallen in decay with you;
then
you shall relieve him.
Yes,
though he be a stranger, or a sojourner;
that
he may live with you.
36
Take you no usury of him, or increase.
But
fear your 'Elohiym/Godhead;
that
your brother may live with you.
37
You shall not give him your money upon usury,
nor
lend him your victuals for increase.
38~~I
. . . {am} Jehovah/God your 'Elohiym/Godhead,
Who
brought you forth out of the land of Egypt,
to
give you the land of Canaan . . .
to
be your 'Elohiym/Godhead.
39-40~~And
if your brother who dwells by you
is
broke/'waxen poor',
and
be sold unto you,
you
shall not compel him to serve as a slave {`ebed} 40~~
but
as an hired servant,
and
as a sojourner {a traveler just passing thorough}.
He
shall be with you,
and
shall serve you unto the year of jubilee.
41
And then shall he depart from you,
both
he and his children with him,
and
shall return unto his own family,
and
unto the possession of his fathers shall he return.
42~~For
they are My servants
{fellow Jews - chosen people of God},
who
I brought forth out of the land of Egypt.
They
shall not be sold as slaves
{slavery of fellow Jews was prohibited}.
43~~You
shall not rule over him with rigor,
but
you shall 'be occupied with'/
'have
respect for' your Elohiym/Godhead.
44
Both your bondmen, and your bondmaids,
which
you shall have,
shall
be of the heathen that are round about you;
of
them shall you buy bondmen and bondmaids.
45
Moreover of the children of the strangers
who
do sojourn among you,
of
them shall you buy,
and
of their families that are with you,
which
they begat in your land.
And
they shall be your possession.
46
And you shall take them as an inheritance
for
your children after you,
to
inherit them for a possession;
they
shall be your bondmen forever.
But
over your brethren the children of Israel,
you
shall not rule one over another with rigor.
47
And if a sojourner or stranger grows/wax rich by you,
and
your brother that dwells by him grows/wax poor,
and
sell himself unto the stranger or sojourner by you,
or
to the stock of the stranger's family.
48
After that he is sold he may be redeemed again;
one
of his brethren may redeem him.
49
Either his uncle, or his uncle's son, may redeem him,
or
any that is near of kin unto him of his family may redeem him;
or
if he be able, he may redeem himself.
50
And he shall reckon with him who bought him from the year
that
he was sold to him unto the year of jubilee.
And
the price of his sale shall be according unto the number of years,
according
to the time of an hired servant shall it be with him.
51
If there be yet many years behind,
according
unto them he shall give again
the
price of his redemption out of the money
that
he was bought for.
{Free
him Ahead of Time! Display Grace!}
52~~And
if there remain
but
few years unto the year of jubilee,
then
he shall count with him,
and
according unto his years
shall
he give him again the price of his redemption.
53
And as a yearly hired servant shall he be with him.
And
the other shall not rule with rigor over him in your sight.
54~~And
if he be not redeemed in those years,
then
he shall go out in the year of jubilee,
both
he, and his children with him.
55
For unto me the children of Israel are servants.
They
are My servants
whom
I brought forth out of the land of Egypt.
I . . . {am} Jehovah/God your Elohiym/Godhead.
