1 God spoke to Moses on a big hill called Sinai. ️⛰️ 2 God said, “When you go to the land I give you, let the land have a rest year for Me.” 3 Work your field and your vines for six years. 4 But in year seven, let the land rest. Do not plant. Do not cut the vines. 5 Do not pick wild grain or wild grapes. Let the land rest. 6 What grows by itself is food for you, your family, your helper, your worker, and the visitor. 7 The food is also for your cows and wild animals. 8 Count seven sets of seven years. That is 49 years. 7×7=49 9 In month seven, day ten, blow a loud horn in all the land. It is a special day. 10 Make year 50 a big joy year. Say, “Be free!” Everyone may go back home to family. 11 In the big joy year, do not plant or harvest or pick wild grapes. 12 It is a holy year. Eat what grows by itself in the field. ✨ 13 In the big joy year, all people go back to their land. 14 When you buy or sell with a neighbor, do not cheat. ❌ 15 Set the price by how many years are left until the big joy year and how many harvests. 16 More years, higher price. Fewer years, lower price. You pay for the crops left. ⬆️⬇️ 17 Do not cheat. Respect God. God is your God. 18 Do My rules, and you will live safe in the land. ✅️ 19 The land will give much food. You will eat and be safe. 20 You may say, “What will we eat in year seven? We do not plant or gather.” ️ 21 God says, “I will bless year six. It will grow food for three years.” ✨ 22 You will plant in year eight and eat old food until year nine harvest. ⏳ 23 Do not sell the land for all time. The land is Mine. You live with Me on My land. ✋ 24 In all the land, let people buy back land. 25 If your brother is poor and sells land, a close family man may buy it back for him. 26 If no one can help, but he gets enough money, he may buy it back himself. 27 He will count the years and pay back extra to the buyer. Then he gets his land. 28 If he cannot pay, the buyer keeps it until the big joy year. Then it goes back. ⏳ 29 If a man sells a house in a city with a wall, he has one year to buy it back. ️1️⃣ 30 If he does not buy it back in one year, the buyer keeps it for good. It does not go back in the big joy year. ➡️ 31 Houses in small towns with no wall are like fields. They can be bought back and go back in the big joy year. ️ 32 Levite men may buy back their city homes any time. 33 If someone buys a Levite house, it must go back in the big joy year. Their city homes are their share. 34 Their fields by the city must not be sold. They belong to them for always. ✋ 35 If your brother is poor, help him live with you. Help the visitor too. 36 Do not take extra money called interest. Respect God, so he can live with you. ❌ 37 Do not take interest on money or on food. ❌ 38 I am God. I brought you out of Egypt. I give you the land of Canaan. I am your God. ➡️️ 39 If your brother is poor and works for you, do not make him a slave. ❌⛓️ 40 He will be like a hired worker or a visitor. He will work until the big joy year. ⏳ 41 Then he and his kids may go free. He goes back to his family and land. 42 They are My servants. I brought them out of Egypt. Do not sell them as slaves. ⛓️❌ 43 Do not be mean to him. Respect God. ❌ 44 You may buy male and female servants from people of other lands around you. 45 You may buy from visitor families who live with you, and their kids born in your land. ️ 46 You may give these servants to your kids to keep. But do not be mean to your Israel brother. 47 If a visitor gets rich and your brother gets poor and sells himself to the visitor or to his family, ⬆️ 48 He may be bought back after he is sold. A brother may buy him back. 49 His uncle, his cousin, or any close family may buy him back. Or he may buy himself back if he can. 50 They must count the years to the big joy year. The price is like pay of a hired worker. 51 If many years are left, he pays more to buy back his freedom. ⏳➡️ 52 If few years are left, he pays less. ⏳⬇️ 53 He must be treated like a hired worker year by year. Do not be mean to him while you see it. 54 If he is not bought back, he goes free in the big joy year, he and his kids. 55 All Israel are My servants. I brought them out of Egypt. I am the LORD your God. ➡️
