Leviticus 25

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.

KJV: Leviticus 25

1And the Lord spake unto Moses in mount Sinai, saying,

2Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye come into the land which I give you, then shall the land keep a sabbath unto the Lord.

3Six years thou shalt sow thy field, and six years thou shalt prune thy vineyard, and gather in the fruit thereof;

4But in the seventh year shall be a sabbath of rest unto the land, a sabbath for the Lord: thou shalt neither sow thy field, nor prune thy vineyard.

5That which groweth of its own accord of thy harvest thou shalt not reap, neither gather the grapes of thy vine undressed: for it is a year of rest unto the land.

6And the sabbath of the land shall be meat for you; for thee, and for thy servant, and for thy maid, and for thy hired servant, and for thy stranger that sojourneth with thee,

7And for thy cattle, and for the beast that are in thy land, shall all the increase thereof be meat.

8And thou shalt number seven sabbaths of years unto thee, seven times seven years; and the space of the seven sabbaths of years shall be unto thee forty and nine years.

9Then shalt thou cause the trumpet of the jubile to sound on the tenth day of the seventh month, in the day of atonement shall ye make the trumpet sound throughout all your land.

10And ye shall hallow the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof: it shall be a jubile unto you; and ye shall return every man unto his possession, and ye shall return every man unto his family.

11A jubile shall that fiftieth year be unto you: ye shall not sow, neither reap that which groweth of itself in it, nor gather the grapes in it of thy vine undressed.

12For it is the jubile; it shall be holy unto you: ye shall eat the increase thereof out of the field.

13In the year of this jubile ye shall return every man unto his possession.

14And if thou sell ought unto thy neighbour, or buyest ought of thy neighbour’s hand, ye shall not oppress one another:

15According to the number of years after the jubile thou shalt buy of thy neighbour, and according unto the number of years of the fruits he shall sell unto thee:

16According to the multitude of years thou shalt increase the price thereof, and according to the fewness of years thou shalt diminish the price of it: for according to the number of the years of the fruits doth he sell unto thee.

17Ye shall not therefore oppress one another; but thou shalt fear thy God: for I am the Lord your God.

18Wherefore ye shall do my statutes, and keep my judgments, and do them; and ye shall dwell in the land in safety.

19And the land shall yield her fruit, and ye shall eat your fill, and dwell therein in safety.

20And if ye shall say, What shall we eat the seventh year? behold, we shall not sow, nor gather in our increase:

21Then I will command my blessing upon you in the sixth year, and it shall bring forth fruit for three years.

22And ye shall sow the eighth year, and eat yet of old fruit until the ninth year; until her fruits come in ye shall eat of the old store.

23The land shall not be sold for ever: for the land is mine; for ye are strangers and sojourners with me.

24And in all the land of your possession ye shall grant a redemption for the land.

25If thy brother be waxen poor, and hath sold away some of his possession, and if any of his kin come to redeem it, then shall he redeem that which his brother sold.

26And if the man have none to redeem it, and himself be able to redeem it;

27Then let him count the years of the sale thereof, and restore the overplus unto the man to whom he sold it; that he may return unto his possession.

28But if he be not able to restore it to him, then that which is sold shall remain in the hand of him that hath bought it until the year of jubile: and in the jubile it shall go out, and he shall return unto his possession.

29And if a man sell a dwelling house in a walled city, then he may redeem it within a whole year after it is sold; within a full year may he redeem it.

30And if it be not redeemed within the space of a full year, then the house that is in the walled city shall be established for ever to him that bought it throughout his generations: it shall not go out in the jubile.

31But the houses of the villages which have no wall round about them shall be counted as the fields of the country: they may be redeemed, and they shall go out in the jubile.

32Notwithstanding the cities of the Levites, and the houses of the cities of their possession, may the Levites redeem at any time.

33And if a man purchase of the Levites, then the house that was sold, and the city of his possession, shall go out in the year of jubile: for the houses of the cities of the Levites are their possession among the children of Israel.

34But the field of the suburbs of their cities may not be sold; for it is their perpetual possession.

35And if thy brother be waxen poor, and fallen in decay with thee; then thou shalt relieve him: yea, though he be a stranger, or a sojourner; that he may live with thee.

36Take thou no usury of him, or increase: but fear thy God; that thy brother may live with thee.

37Thou shalt not give him thy money upon usury, nor lend him thy victuals for increase.

38I am the Lord your God, which brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, to give you the land of Canaan, and to be your God.

39And if thy brother that dwelleth by thee be waxen poor, and be sold unto thee; thou shalt not compel him to serve as a bondservant:

40But as an hired servant, and as a sojourner, he shall be with thee, and shall serve thee unto the year of jubile:

41And then shall he depart from thee, both he and his children with him, and shall return unto his own family, and unto the possession of his fathers shall he return.

42For they are my servants, which I brought forth out of the land of Egypt: they shall not be sold as bondmen.

43Thou shalt not rule over him with rigour; but shalt fear thy God.

44Both thy bondmen, and thy bondmaids, which thou shalt have, shall be of the heathen that are round about you; of them shall ye buy bondmen and bondmaids.

45Moreover of the children of the strangers that do sojourn among you, of them shall ye buy, and of their families that are with you, which they begat in your land: and they shall be your possession.

46And ye shall take them as an inheritance for your children after you, to inherit them for a possession; they shall be your bondmen for ever: but over your brethren the children of Israel, ye shall not rule one over another with rigour.

47And if a sojourner or stranger wax rich by thee, and thy brother that dwelleth by him wax poor, and sell himself unto the stranger or sojourner by thee, or to the stock of the stranger’s family:

48After that he is sold he may be redeemed again; one of his brethren may redeem him:

49Either his uncle, or his uncle’s son, may redeem him, or any that is nigh of kin unto him of his family may redeem him; or if he be able, he may redeem himself.

50And he shall reckon with him that bought him from the year that he was sold to him unto the year of jubile: and the price of his sale shall be according unto the number of years, according to the time of an hired servant shall it be with him.

51If there be yet many years behind, according unto them he shall give again the price of his redemption out of the money that he was bought for.

52And if there remain but few years unto the year of jubile, then he shall count with him, and according unto his years shall he give him again the price of his redemption.

53And as a yearly hired servant shall he be with him: and the other shall not rule with rigour over him in thy sight.

54And if he be not redeemed in these years, then he shall go out in the year of jubile, both he, and his children with him.

55For unto me the children of Israel are servants; they are my servants whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God.
