6 και εσται τα σαββατα της γης βρωματα σοι και τω παιδι σου και τη παιδισκη σου και τω μισθωτω σου και τω παροικω τω προσκειμενω προς σε	6 But what the land produces in its Sabbath wil serve to feed you, your slave, male or female, youremployee and your guest residing with you;
7 και τοις κτηνεσιν σου και τοις θηριοις τοις εν τη γη σου εσται παν το γενημα αυτου εις βρωσιν	7 for your cattle too, and the wild animals of your country, whatever it produces wil serve as food.

9 και διαγγελειτε σαλπιγγος φωνη εν παση τη γη υμων τω μηνι τω εβδομω τη δεκατη του μηνος τη ημερα του ιλασμου διαγγελειτε σαλπιγγι εν παση τη γη υμων	9 And on the tenth day of the seventh month you wil sound the trumpet; on the Day of Expiation you wilsound the trumpet throughout the land.
10 και αγιασετε το ετος το πεντηκοστον ενιαυτον και διαβοησετε αφεσιν επι της γης πασιν τοις κατοικουσιν αυτην ενιαυτος αφεσεως σημασια αυτη εσται υμιν και απελευσεται εις εκαστος εις την κτησιν αυτου και εκαστος εις την πατριδα αυτου απελευσεσθε	10 You wil declare this fiftieth year to be sacred and proclaim the liberation of al the country'sinhabitants. You will keep this as a jubilee: each of you wil return to his ancestral property, each to his own clan.

12 οτι αφεσεως σημασια εστιν αγιον εσται υμιν απο των πεδιων φαγεσθε τα γενηματα αυτης	12 The jubilee wil be a holy thing for you; during it you wil eat whatever the fields produce.
13 εν τω ετει της αφεσεως σημασια αυτης επανελευσεται εκαστος εις την κτησιν αυτου	13 "In this year of jubilee, each of you wil return to his ancestral property.

16 καθοτι αν πλειον των ετων πληθυνη την εγκτησιν αυτου και καθοτι αν ελαττον των ετων ελαττονωση την κτησιν αυτου οτι αριθμον γενηματων αυτου ουτως αποδωσεται σοι	16 The greater the number of years, the higher the price you wil ask for it; the fewer the number ofyears, the greater the reduction; for what he is sel ing you is a certain number of harvests.

25 εαν δε πενηται ο αδελφος σου ο μετα σου και αποδωται απο της κατασχεσεως αυτου και ελθη ο αγχιστευων εγγιζων εγγιστα αυτου και λυτρωσεται την πρασιν του αδελφου αυτου	25 If your brother becomes impoverished and sel s off part of his ancestral property, his nearest malerelative wil come and exercise his family rights over what his brother has sold.
