Leviticus 25:8-12

The Year of Jubilee

Leviticus 25:8-12
8
"'You are to count seven Shabbats of years, seven times seven years, that is, forty-nine years.
9
Then, on the tenth day of the seventh month, on Yom-Kippur, you are to sound a blast on the shofar; you are to sound the shofar all through your land;
10
and you are to consecrate the fiftieth year, proclaiming freedom throughout the land to all its inhabitants. It will be a yovel for you; you will return everyone to the land he owns, and everyone is to return to his family.
11
That fiftieth year will be a yovel for you; in that year you are not to sow, harvest what grows by itself or gather the grapes of untended vines;
12
because it is a yovel. It will be holy for you; whatever the fields produce will be food for all of you.
