11It is a Jubilee; the fiftieth year shall be for you. You shall not sow, and you shall not reap its volunteer growth, and you shall not gather the grapes of its unpruned vines.

12For it is a jubilee; it shall be holy to you. From the field you shall eat its produce.

13In this Year of Jubilee, each of you shall return to his property.
