12. That year is Jubilee; it will be a holy time for you. You may eat only the crops that come from the field.
13. In the year of Jubilee you each must go back to your own property.
14. “ ‘If you sell your land to your neighbor, or if you buy land from your neighbor, don’t cheat each other.
15. If you want to buy your neighbor’s land, count the number of years since the last Jubilee, and use that number to decide the right price. If your neighbor sells the land to you, count the number of years left for harvesting crops, and use that number to decide the right price.
16. If there are many years, the price will be high. But if there are only a few years, lower the price, because your neighbor is really selling only a few crops to you.
17. You must not cheat each other, but you must respect your God. I am the Lord your God.
18. “ ‘Remember my laws and rules, and obey them so that you will live safely in the land.
19. The land will give good crops to you, and you will eat as much as you want and live safely in the land.
20. “ ‘But you might ask, “If we don’t plant seeds or gather crops, what will we eat the seventh year?”
21. I will send you such a great blessing during the sixth year that the land will produce enough crops for three years.
22. When you plant in the eighth year, you will still be eating from the old crop; you will eat the old crop until the harvest of the ninth year.
