Gen Z: Leviticus 25
1Yo, the Lord hit up Moses on Mount Sinai and said,
2"Tell the fam of Israel, when you roll into the land I’m giving you, let that land take a chill sabbath for the Lord."
3"For six years, you gotta plant your crops and prune your vines, then scoop up the harvest."
4"But on the seventh year, it’s a total rest vibe for the land, no planting or pruning, just let it chill."
5"Whatever grows on its own, you can’t harvest that, and don’t touch the grapes that haven’t been pruned; it’s a rest year for the land."
6"The land's sabbath is for you to feast; for you, your crew, and even the homies visiting."
7"And your livestock and all the animals in your land can munch on that extra growth."
8"Count up seven sabbath years, that’s seven times seven years; that’s a solid 49 years."
9"Then blow the jubilee trumpet on the tenth day of the seventh month, on the day of atonement, let that trumpet blast all over your land."
10"Make the fiftieth year super special, shout out freedom all over the land to everyone living there; it’s a jubilee for you, and everyone gets back their stuff and their fam."
11Yo, the fiftieth year is a whole vibe: no planting, no harvesting, just chillin’ with the grapes.
12It’s the jubilee, fam; keep it holy and munch on what grows in the field.
13During this jubilee, everyone gets their stuff back. Bet!
14If you sell or buy from your neighbor, don't be sus and treat each other right.
15When you buy from your homie after the jubilee, the price is based on how many years are left.
16If it’s been ages, the price goes up; if it’s soon, it goes down. Keep it real based on the harvest years.
17Don’t oppress each other; respect the vibes 'cause I’m your God, no cap.
18So, follow my rules and keep my judgments, and you’ll be living safe in the land.
19The land will produce, you’ll eat good, and vibe safely.
20If you’re like, “What’s for dinner in the seventh year?” just know, no planting or gathering, chill out!
21I'm gonna drop my blessings on you in the sixth year, and you’ll be vibing with fruit for three years, no cap.
22In the eighth year, you’ll plant again and munch on old fruit until the ninth year; you’ll be chillin’ with the old stash until the new harvest comes in.
23The land ain't for sale forever; it's mine, and you guys are just passing through with me, periodt.
24In all the land you own, you gotta let the land get redeemed, fam.
25If your bro is down bad and sold some of his stuff, and any fam comes to buy it back, they gotta help him out and get it back.
26If he’s got no one to help him and can’t buy it back himself;
27Then he should count the years since the sale and give back the extra to the dude he sold it to, so he can get his stuff back.
28But if he can’t get it back, then what he sold stays with the buyer until the jubilee year; then it’ll go back, and he’ll reclaim his stuff.
29If someone sells a crib in a walled city, they can buy it back within a whole year after it’s sold; they’ve got a full year to redeem it.
30If it ain't bought back within that year, then the house in the walled city is locked in forever for the buyer’s fam; it won't go back in the jubilee.
31The houses in the villages without walls are just vibes like the fields; they can be redeemed and pop off in the jubilee.
32But the Levite cities and their houses? They can redeem whenever, no cap.
33If someone buys from the Levites, that sold house and city goes back in the jubilee; the Levite houses are their own rizz among Israel.
34But the fields around their cities? Nah, those are forever theirs, periodt.
35If your bro is down bad and struggling, help him out, even if he’s a stranger; let him vibe with you.
36Don’t charge him interest or extra; just respect God so your bro can chill with you.
37Don’t hit him with interest on your cash or food; keep it real.
38I’m the Lord your God who brought you outta Egypt to hook you up with Canaan and be your God, fr.
39If your bro living near you gets poor and sells himself to you, don’t make him your slave; that’s sus.
40Treat him like a hired worker or a traveler; he’s with you until the jubilee, no savage moves.
41Then he dips, taking his kids with him, and heads back to his fam and their turf.
42They’re my squad, the ones I pulled outta Egypt; can’t sell them like that, no cap.
43Don’t flex on him too hard; just keep it real and respect God.
44Your bondmen and bondmaids gotta be from the chill folks around you; that’s where you cop them.
45Plus, if the outsiders chillin’ with you have kids, you can buy them too; they’ll be your squad.
46You can pass them down to your kids as part of the fam; they’ll be your bondmen forever, but don’t treat your Israelite bros harshly.
47If a sojourner gets rich off you and your bro nearby is struggling, he might sell himself to that outsider or their fam.
48Once he’s sold, he can be redeemed; one of his homies can step in and save him.
49Either his uncle or his uncle’s kid can redeem him, or anyone close in the fam can help him out; or if he’s got the cash, he can buy himself back.
50He’ll figure out the deal with the buyer from the year he got sold to the year of jubilee; the price will depend on how many years he’s been in the game, just like a hired worker.
51If there’s still a bunch of years left, he gotta pay back the price he was bought for, no cap.
52But if it’s almost the year of jubilee, he counts the years and pays back according to that, periodt.
53He’ll be like a yearly hired homie, and the other dude can’t flex on him too hard in your sight, fr.
54If he ain't redeemed by then, he’ll peace out in the year of jubilee, taking his kids with him, lit.
55The kids of Israel are my peeps; I brought them outta Egypt: I’m the Lord your God, straight up.
