WEBVTT 00:00.000 --> 00:05.920 Chapter 25 And the LORD spake unto Moses in Mount Sinai, saying, Speak unto the 00:05.920 --> 00:10.160 children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye come into the land which I give 00:10.160 --> 00:13.240 you, then shall the land keep a sabbath unto the LORD. 00:14.020 --> 00:18.440 Six years thou shalt sow thy field, and six years thou shalt prune thy 00:18.440 --> 00:20.520 vineyard, and gather in the fruit thereof. 00:21.000 --> 00:26.180 But in the seventh year shall be a sabbath of rest unto the land, a sabbath for the 00:26.180 --> 00:26.460 LORD. 00:26.460 --> 00:30.160 Thou shalt neither sow thy field nor prune thy vineyard. 00:30.680 --> 00:34.640 That which groweth of its own accord of thy harvest thou shalt not reap, 00:35.160 --> 00:37.580 neither gather the grapes of thy vine undressed. 00:38.240 --> 00:43.320 For it is a year of rest unto the land, and the sabbath of the land shall be neat 00:43.320 --> 00:43.780 for you. 00:44.400 --> 00:48.480 For thee, and for thy servant, and for thy maid, and for thy hired 00:48.480 --> 00:53.140 servant, and for thy stranger that sojourneth with thee, and for thy cattle, 00:53.440 --> 00:57.400 and for the beasts that are in the land, shall all the increase thereof be meet. 00:57.980 --> 01:03.180 And thou shalt number seven sabbaths of years unto thee, seven times seven years. 01:03.660 --> 01:07.640 And the space of the seven sabbaths of years shall be unto thee forty and nine 01:07.640 --> 01:08.020 years. 01:08.620 --> 01:12.700 Then shalt thou cause the trumpet of the jubilee to sound on the tenth day of the 01:12.700 --> 01:13.320 seventh month. 01:13.960 --> 01:17.880 In the day of atonement shall ye make the trumpet sound throughout all your land. 01:18.380 --> 01:22.940 And ye shall hallow the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout all the 01:22.940 --> 01:25.160 land unto all the inhabitants thereof. 01:25.720 --> 01:30.260 It shall be a jubilee unto you, and ye shall return every man unto his 01:30.260 --> 01:33.800 possession, and ye shall return every man unto his family. 01:34.540 --> 01:37.680 A jubilee shall that fiftieth year be unto you. 01:38.380 --> 01:43.360 Ye shall not sow, neither reap that which groweth of itself in it, nor gather the 01:43.360 --> 01:45.120 grapes in it of thy vine undressed. 01:45.660 --> 01:48.820 For it is the jubilee, it shall be holy unto you. 01:49.440 --> 01:52.080 Ye shall eat the increase thereof out of the field. 01:52.080 --> 01:56.980 In the year of this jubilee ye shall return every man unto his possession. 01:57.840 --> 02:01.620 And if thou sell aught unto thy neighbor, or buyest out of thy neighbor's hand, 02:02.120 --> 02:03.560 ye shall not oppress one another. 02:04.240 --> 02:08.500 According to the number of years after the jubilee thou shalt buy of thy neighbor, 02:08.880 --> 02:12.500 and according unto the number of years of the fruits he shall sell unto thee. 02:13.180 --> 02:16.980 According to the multitude of years thou shalt increase the price thereof, 02:17.360 --> 02:21.360 and according to the fewness of years thou shalt diminish the price of it. 02:21.360 --> 02:25.760 For according to the number of the years of the fruits doth he sell unto thee. 02:26.640 --> 02:30.960 Ye shall not therefore oppress one another, but thou shalt fear thy God, 02:31.380 --> 02:32.960 for I am the Lord your God. 02:33.880 --> 02:39.260 Wherefore ye shall do my statutes and keep my judgments, and do them, and ye shall 02:39.260 --> 02:40.660 dwell in the land in safety. 02:41.300 --> 02:46.160 And the land shall yield her fruit, and ye shall eat your fill, and dwell 02:46.160 --> 02:47.120 therein in safety. 02:47.860 --> 02:51.480 And if ye shall say, What shall we eat the seventh year? 02:52.140 --> 02:55.840 Behold, we shall not sow, nor gather in our increase. 02:56.360 --> 03:00.740 Then I will command my blessing upon you in the sixth year, and it shall bring 03:00.740 --> 03:02.280 forth fruit for three years. 03:02.740 --> 03:06.980 And ye shall sow the eighth year, and eat yet of old fruit until the ninth 03:06.980 --> 03:07.280 year. 03:07.780 --> 03:11.140 Until her fruits come in, ye shall eat of the old store. 03:11.860 --> 03:17.280 The land shall not be sold forever, for the land is mine, for ye are strangers 03:17.280 --> 03:18.720 and sojourners with me. 03:19.580 --> 03:23.720 And in all the land of your possession, ye shall grant a redemption for the land. 03:24.400 --> 03:28.540 If thy brother be waxen poor, and hath sold away some of his possession, 03:28.980 --> 03:34.000 and if any of his kin come to redeem it, then shall he redeem that which his 03:34.000 --> 03:34.640 brother sold. 03:35.200 --> 03:39.660 And if the man have none to redeem it, and himself be able to redeem it, 03:40.040 --> 03:44.600 then let him count the years of the sale thereof, and restore the overplus unto the 03:44.600 --> 03:48.100 man to whom he sold it, that he may return unto his possession. 03:48.820 --> 03:53.340 But if he be not able to restore it to him, then that which is sold shall remain 03:53.340 --> 03:56.220 in the hand of him that hath bought it until the year of Jubilee. 03:56.920 --> 04:01.160 And in the Jubilee it shall go out, and he shall return unto his possession. 04:01.960 --> 04:06.940 And if a man sell a dwelling-house in a walled city, then he may redeem it within 04:06.940 --> 04:08.700 a whole year after it is sold. 04:09.280 --> 04:11.580 Within a full year may he redeem it. 04:11.580 --> 04:16.840 And if it be not redeemed within the space of a full year, then the house that is in 04:16.840 --> 04:20.400 the walled city shall be established forever to him that bought it throughout 04:20.400 --> 04:21.220 his generations. 04:21.940 --> 04:23.620 It shall not go out in the Jubilee. 04:24.440 --> 04:28.780 But the houses of the villages which have no wall round about them shall be counted 04:28.780 --> 04:30.300 as the fields of the country. 04:31.000 --> 04:34.420 They may be redeemed, and they shall go out in the Jubilee. 04:35.600 --> 04:39.480 Notwithstanding, the cities of the Levites and the houses of the cities of their 04:39.480 --> 04:42.420 possession may the Levites redeem at any time. 04:43.140 --> 04:47.280 And if a man purchase of the Levites, then the house that was sold and the city 04:47.280 --> 04:50.320 of his possession shall go out in the year of Jubilee. 04:51.000 --> 04:54.680 For the houses of the cities of the Levites are their possession among the 04:54.680 --> 04:55.540 children of Israel. 04:56.200 --> 05:00.840 But the field of the suburbs of their cities may not be sold, for it is their 05:00.840 --> 05:01.960 perpetual possession. 05:02.780 --> 05:08.060 And if thy brother be waxen poor and fallen in decay with thee, then thou shalt 05:08.060 --> 05:08.740 relieve him. 05:08.740 --> 05:13.200 Yea, though he be a stranger or a sojourner, that he may live with thee. 05:13.780 --> 05:18.860 Take thou no usury of him, or increase, but fear thy God, that thy brother may 05:18.860 --> 05:19.540 live with thee. 05:20.340 --> 05:24.980 Thou shalt not give him thy money upon usury, nor lend him thy vittles for 05:24.980 --> 05:25.540 increase. 05:26.240 --> 05:30.420 I am the Lord your God, which brought you forth out of the land of Egypt to give you 05:30.420 --> 05:32.540 the land of Canaan, and to be your God. 05:33.060 --> 05:37.400 And if thy brother that dwelleth by thee be waxen poor and be sold unto thee, 05:37.400 --> 05:42.500 thou shalt not compel him to serve as a bond-servant, but as an hired servant, 05:42.920 --> 05:43.940 and as a sojourner. 05:44.480 --> 05:48.000 He shall be with thee, and shall serve thee unto the year of Jubilee. 05:49.080 --> 05:52.940 And then shall he depart from thee, both he and his children with him, 05:53.260 --> 05:57.480 and shall return unto his own family, and unto the possession of his father 05:57.480 --> 05:58.360 shall he return. 05:59.040 --> 06:02.800 For they are my servants, which I brought forth out of the land of Egypt. 06:03.200 --> 06:05.160 They shall not be sold as bondmen. 06:05.160 --> 06:09.920 Thou shalt not rule over him with rigor, but shalt fear thy God. 06:10.700 --> 06:15.480 Both thy bondmen and thy bondmaids, which thou shalt have, shall be of the 06:15.480 --> 06:17.100 heathen that are round about you. 06:17.680 --> 06:20.560 Of them shall ye buy bondmen and bondmaids. 06:21.180 --> 06:25.820 Moreover of the children of the strangers that do sojourn among you, of them shall 06:25.820 --> 06:30.760 ye buy, and of their families that are with you, which they begat in your land, 06:31.120 --> 06:32.780 and they shall be your possession. 06:33.360 --> 06:37.900 And ye shall take them as an inheritance for your children after you, to inherit 06:37.900 --> 06:38.800 them for a possession. 06:39.480 --> 06:41.260 They shall be your bondmen for ever. 06:41.940 --> 06:46.640 But over your brethren, the children of Israel, ye shall not rule one over another 06:46.640 --> 06:47.300 with rigor. 06:48.160 --> 06:52.740 And if a sojourner or stranger wax rich by thee, and thy brother that dwelleth by him 06:52.740 --> 06:56.760 wax poor, and sell himself unto the stranger or sojourner by thee, 06:57.140 --> 07:02.120 or to the stock of the stranger's family, after that he is sold, he may be redeemed 07:02.120 --> 07:02.620 again. 07:03.120 --> 07:07.500 One of his brethren may redeem him, either his uncle or his uncle's son may 07:07.500 --> 07:12.140 redeem him, or any that is nigh of kin unto him of his family may redeem him. 07:12.660 --> 07:17.660 Or if he be able, he may redeem himself, and he shall reckon with him that bought 07:17.660 --> 07:21.260 him from the year that he was sold to him unto the year of Jubilee. 07:22.000 --> 07:25.460 And the price of his sale shall be according unto the number of years, 07:25.460 --> 07:28.940 according to the time of an hired servant shall it be with him. 07:29.520 --> 07:34.240 If there be yet many years behind, according unto them he shall give again 07:34.240 --> 07:37.400 the price of his redemption out of the money that he was bought for. 07:38.060 --> 07:42.500 And if there remain but few years unto the year of Jubilee, then he shall count with 07:42.500 --> 07:46.860 him, and according unto his years shall he give him again the price of his 07:46.860 --> 07:47.240 redemption. 07:48.200 --> 07:52.980 And as a yearly hired servant shall he be with him, and the others shall not rule 07:52.980 --> 07:54.720 with rigor over him in thy sight. 07:54.720 --> 07:59.480 And if he be not redeemed in these years, then he shall go out in the year of 07:59.480 --> 08:02.420 Jubilee, both he and his children with him. 08:02.940 --> 08:07.200 For unto me the children of Israel are servants, they are my servants whom I 08:07.200 --> 08:08.900 brought forth out of the land of Egypt. 08:09.400 --> 08:10.700 I am the Lord your God.
