Chapter 25

1Hashem spoke to Moshe on Har Sinai:

va-y'-da-BAYR a-do-NAI el mo-SHEH b'-har si-NAI lay-MOR

אוַיְדַבֵּ֤ר יְהֹוָה֙ אֶל־מֹשֶׁ֔ה בְּהַ֥ר סִינַ֖י לֵאמֹֽר׃

2Speak to B'nei Yisrael and say to them: When you enter the land that I assign to you, the land shall observe a Shabbat of Hashem.

3Six years you may sow your field and six years you may prune your vineyard and gather in the yield.

4But in the seventh year the land shall have a Shabbat of complete rest, a Shabbat of Hashem: you shall not sow your field or prune your vineyard.

5You shall not reap the aftergrowth of your harvest or gather the grapes of your untrimmed vines; it shall be a year of complete rest for the land.

46you may keep them as a possession for your children after you, for them to inherit as property for all time. Such you may treat as slaves. But as for your Israelite kinsmen, no one shall rule ruthlessly over the other.

47If a resident alien among you has prospered, and your kinsman being in straits, comes under his authority and gives himself over to the resident alien among you, or to an offshoot of an alien's family,

48he shall have the right of redemption even after he has given himself over. One of his kinsmen shall redeem him,

49or his uncle or his uncle's son shall redeem him, or anyone of his family who is of his own flesh shall redeem him; or, if he prospers, he may redeem himself.

50He shall compute with his purchaser the total from the year he gave himself over to him until the jubilee year; the price of his sale shall be applied to the number of years, as though it were for a term as a hired laborer under the other's authority.

51If many years remain, he shall pay back for his redemption in proportion to his purchase price;

52and if few years remain until the jubilee year, he shall so compute: he shall make payment for his redemption according to the years involved.

53He shall be under his authority as a laborer hired by the year; he shall not rule ruthlessly over him in your sight.

54If he has not been redeemed in any of those ways, he and his children with him shall go free in the jubilee year.
