New Living Translation (NLT)
Leviticus 25
50 They will negotiate the price of their freedom with the person who bought them. The price will be based on the number of years from the time they were sold until the next Year of Jubilee—whatever it would cost to hire a worker for that period of time.
51 If many years still remain until the jubilee, they will repay the proper proportion of what they received when they sold themselves.
52 If only a few years remain until the Year of Jubilee, they will repay a small amount for their redemption.
53 The foreigner must treat them as workers hired on a yearly basis. You must not allow a foreigner to treat any of your fellow Israelites harshly.
54 If any Israelites have not been bought back by the time the Year of Jubilee arrives, they and their children must be set free at that time.
55 For the people of Israel belong to me. They are my servants, whom I brought out of the land of Egypt. I am the LORD your God.
Leviticus 26
1 “Do not make idols or set up carved images, or sacred pillars, or sculptured stones in your land so you may worship them. I am the LORD your God.
2 You must keep my Sabbath days of rest and show reverence for my sanctuary. I am the LORD.
3 “If you follow my decrees and are careful to obey my commands,
4 I will send you the seasonal rains. The land will then yield its crops, and the trees of the field will produce their fruit.
5 Your threshing season will overlap with the grape harvest, and your grape harvest will overlap with the season of planting grain. You will eat your fill and live securely in your own land.
We pray that this ministry will be a blessing to you and your family.
