Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed for doing comparisons of different translations. Click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context.

(1 The Sabbath of the seventh year. 8 The Yubile in the fiftieth year. 14 Of oppression. 18 A blessing of obedience. 23 The redemption of land, 29 Of houses. 35 Compassion of the poore. 39 The usage of bondmen. 47 The redemption of servants.)
This chapter describes two special types of years and property rights: 1) The Sabbath Year (25:1-7) 2) The Year of Jubilee (25:8-22) 3) Laws about property redemption (25:23-34) 4) Laws about helping the poor (25:35-46) 5) Laws about Israelite slaves (25:47-55)
The chapter often speaks of land as if it were a person:- “The land shall rest”- “The land shall give”- Consider how your language expresses these concepts naturally
Many instructions use passive form. Your language might need to say who does the action:- “The land shall not be sold” → “You must not sell the land”- “If it is not redeemed” → “If no one buys it back”- “Redemption shall be to it” → “You may buy it back”
The chapter uses several idioms that need careful translation:- “His hand reaches” means “he becomes prosperous”- “His hand wavers” means “he becomes poor”- “To the mouth of” means “according to” or “based on”- Use natural expressions in your language
The chapter uses general terms that include everyone:- “Brother” means “fellow Israelite”- “A man” means “any person”- “Sons” can include both men and women(See: sabbath, jubilee, and redeem)
