[The Pentateuch]

If ye shall say, what shall we eat the seventh ⟨p. XLVI⟩year in as much as we shall not sow nor gather in our increase. I will send my blessing upon you in the sixth year, and it shall bring forth fruit for three years: and ye shall sow the eight year and eat of old fruit until the .ix. year, and even until her fruits come, ye shall eat of old store. Wherefore the land shall not be sold for ever, because that the land is mine, and ye but strangers and sojourners with me: and ye shall through out all the land of your possession, let the land go home free again.

Yf ye shall saye, what shall we eate the •euenth ⟨p. XLVI⟩yere in as moche as we shall not sowe nor gether in oure encrease. I wyll sende my blessynge apon you in the sixte yere, and it shall brynge forth frute for thre yeres: and ye shall sowe the eyghte yere and eate of olde frute vntill the .ix. yere, and euen vntyll hir frutes come, ye shall eate of olde stoare. Wherfore the londe shall not be solde for euer, because that the lande is myne, and ye but straungers and soiourners with me: and ye shall thorowe oute all the lande of youre possession, let the londe go home fre agayne.

When thy brother is waxed poor and hath sold away of his possession: if any off his kin come to redeem it, he shall by out that which his brother sold. And though he have no man to redeem it for him, yet if his hand can get sufficient to bye it out again, then let him count how long it hath been sold, and deliver the rest unto him to whom he sold it, and so he shall return unto his possession again. But and if his hand can not get sufficient to restore it to him again, then that which is sold shall remain in the hand of him that hath bought it, until the horn year: and in the horn year it shall come out, and he shall ⟨image 231⟩return unto his possession again.
