Löydetty 20764 Tulokset: Or
Thou shalt not make a harvest of the land’s aftergrowth, or hoard up, at vintage time, the dedicated grapes, in this year when all is repose;✻ (Leviticus 25, 5)
thou shalt leave them to be sustenance, as need arises, for thyself, thy slaves and slave-women, thy hired labourers, and the aliens in thy household; (Leviticus 25, 6)
for thy beasts of burden, too, and for thy cattle, the aftergrowth shall provide food enough. (Leviticus 25, 7)
Of these cycles of seven years thou shalt count seven, forty-nine years in all, (Leviticus 25, 8)
The fiftieth year thou shalt set apart, by proclaiming release to all that dwell in thy country; it is the year of jubilee, in which every man comes into his own lands again, and is restored to his old home. (Leviticus 25, 10)
In this fiftieth year, the year of jubilee, thou shalt neither sow crops nor make a harvest of the aftergrowth, nor gather in the dedicated grapes; (Leviticus 25, 11)
If, then, thou art selling land to one of thy fellow-countrymen, or buying it from him, do not drive a hard bargain with him. If thou art buying, take into account the number of years since the jubilee, (Leviticus 25, 14)
and pay him according to what value there is in the remaining harvests. (Leviticus 25, 15)
If many years are still to run before the next jubilee, the price will be higher; if few, the price must be brought down. It is but the succession of so many harvests that he is selling thee. (Leviticus 25, 16)
Do not take advantage of your own fellow-countrymen; each of you has a divine vengeance to reckon with; the vengeance of the Lord, your God. (Leviticus 25, 17)
Would you ask, how you are to live in the seventh year, since you have neither sowed nor gathered in crops? (Leviticus 25, 20)
Be assured that in the sixth year my blessing shall be upon the land, and it will yield food for three years to come; (Leviticus 25, 21)
