“A 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.”
The fiftieth year shall be a jubilee for you; do not sow and do not reap what grows of itself or harvest the untended vines. The Jubilee year follows the same agricultural rest regulations as the sabbatical year: no sowing, no reaping of spontaneous growth, no harvesting of untended vines. The Jubilee year is simultaneously the fiftieth year of the Jubilee cycle and (potentially) the forty-ninth year of a seven-year sabbatical cycle — a double-rest year that communicates the extraordinary character of the Jubilee.
