4 But during the seventh year, you must let the land rest. This will be a special time to honor the Lord. You must not plant seed in your field or trim your vineyards.
5 You must not cut the crops that grow by themselves after harvest. You must not gather the grapes from your vines that are not trimmed. The land will have a year of rest.
6 “‘You may eat whatever the land produces during that year of rest. It will be food for your men and women servants. It will be food for your hired workers and the foreigners living in your country.
7 It will also be food for your cattle and the wild animals of your land. Whatever the land produces may be eaten.
8 “‘Count off seven groups of 7 years. This will be 49 years. During that time there will be 7 years of rest for the land.
9 On the Day of Cleansing, you must blow the horn of a male sheep. This will be on the tenth day of the seventh month. You must blow the horn through the whole country.
10 Make the fiftieth year a special year. Announce freedom for all the people living in your country. This time will be called Jubilee. Each of you will go back to his own property. And each of you will go back to his own family and family group.
