Leviticus 25:8-10
1599 Geneva Bible
8 ¶ Also thou shalt number seven [a]Sabbaths of years unto thee, even seven times seven years: and the space of the seven Sabbaths of years will be unto thee nine and forty years.
9 [b]Then thou shalt cause to blow the trumpet of the Jubilee in the tenth day of the seventh month: even in the day of the reconciliation shall ye make the trumpet blow throughout all your land.
10 And ye shall hallow that year, even the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty in the land to all the [c]inhabitants thereof: it shall be the Jubilee unto you, and ye shall return every man unto his [d]possession, and every man shall return unto his family.
