Welfare System of יהוה (Yahuah)

Deuteronomy דברים (DaBaR’eyM) 23:

[24] When thou comest into thy neighbour’s vineyard, then thou mayest eat grapes thy fill at thine own pleasure; but thou shalt not put any in thy vessel.

[25] When thou comest into the standing corn of thy neighbour, then thou mayest pluck the ears with thine hand; but thou shalt not move a sickle unto thy neighbour’s standing corn.

Exodus שמות (ShuMuTh) 23:

[10] And six years thou shalt sow thy land, and shalt gather in the fruits thereof:

[11] But the seventh year thou shalt let it rest and lie still; that the poor of thy people may eat: and what they leave the beasts of the field shall eat. In like manner thou shalt deal with thy vineyard, and with thy oliveyard.

Deuteronomy דברים (DaBaR’eyM) 24:

[19] When thou cuttest down thine harvest in thy field, and hast forgot a sheaf in the field, thou shalt not go again to fetch it: it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow: that יהוה (Yahuah) thy Alaheym may bless thee in all the work of thine hands.

[20] When thou beatest thine olive tree, thou shalt not go over the boughs again: it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow.

[21] When thou gatherest the grapes of thy vineyard, thou shalt not glean it afterward: it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow.

[22] And thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in the land of Egypt: therefore I command thee to do this thing.

Exodus שמות (ShuMuTh) 34:

[26] The first of the firstfruits of thy land thou shalt bring unto the house of יהוה (Yahuah) thy Alaheym.

Leviticus ויקרא (u’Ye-QuRA) 19:

[9] And when ye reap the harvest of your land, thou shalt not wholly reap the corners of thy field, neither shalt thou gather the gleanings of thy harvest.

[10] And thou shalt not glean thy vineyard, neither shalt thou gather every grape of thy vineyard; thou shalt leave them for the poor and stranger: I am יהוה (Yahuah) your Alaheym.

Leviticus ויקרא (u’Ye-QuRA) 23:

[22] And when ye reap the harvest of your land, thou shalt not make clean riddance of the corners of thy field when thou reapest, neither shalt thou gather any gleaning of thy harvest: thou shalt leave them unto the poor, and to the stranger: I am Yahuwah your Alaheym.

Leviticus ויקרא (u’Ye-QuRA) 25:

[1] And יהוה (Yahuah) spake unto Moses משה (MaShaH) in mount Sinai, saying,

[2] Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye come into the land which I give you, then shall the land keep a sabbath unto יהוה (Yahuah).

[3] Six years thou shalt sow thy field, and six years thou shalt prune thy vineyard, and gather in the fruit thereof;

[4] But in the seventh year shall be a sabbath of rest unto the land, a sabbath for יהוה (Yahuah): thou shalt neither sow thy field, nor prune thy vineyard.

[5] That which groweth of its own accord of thy harvest thou shalt not reap, neither gather the grapes of thy vine undressed: for it is a year of rest unto the land.

[6] And the sabbath of the land shall be meat for you; for thee, and for thy servant, and for thy maid, and for thy hired servant, and for thy stranger that sojourneth with thee,

[7] And for thy cattle, and for the beast that are in thy land, shall all the increase thereof be meat.

YEAR OF JUBILE

[8] And thou shalt number seven sabbaths of years unto thee, seven times seven years; and the space of the seven sabbaths of years shall be unto thee forty and nine years.

[9] Then shalt thou cause the trumpet of the jubile to sound on the tenth day of the seventh month, in the day of atonement shall ye make the trumpet sound throughout all your land.

[10] And ye shall hallow the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof: it shall be a jubile unto you; and ye shall return every man unto his possession, and ye shall return every man unto his family.

[11] 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.

[12] For it is the jubile; it shall be holy unto you: ye shall eat the increase thereof out of the field.

[13] In the year of this jubile ye shall return every man unto his possession.

[14] And if thou sell ought unto thy neighbour, or buyest ought of thy neighbour’s hand, ye shall not oppress one another:

[15] According to the number of years after the jubile thou shalt buy of thy neighbour, and according unto the number of years of the fruits he shall sell unto thee:

[16] According to the multitude of years thou shalt increase the price thereof, and according to the fewness of years thou shalt diminish the price of it: for according to the number of the years of the fruits doth he sell unto thee.

[17] Ye shall not therefore oppress one another; but thou shalt fear thy Alaheym: for I am יהוה (Yahuah) your Alaheym.

[18] Wherefore ye shall do my statutes, and keep my judgments, and do them; and ye shall dwell in the land in safety.

[19] And the land shall yield her fruit, and he shall eat your fill, and dwell therein in safety.

[20] And if ye shall say, What shall we eat the seventh year? behold, we shall not sow, nor gather in our increase:

[21] Then I will command my blessing upon you in the sixth year, and it shall bring forth fruit for three years.

[22] And ye shall sow the eighth year, and eat yet of old fruit until the ninth year; until her fruits come in ye shall eat of the old store.

[23] The land shall not be sold for ever: for the land is mine; for ye are strangers and sojourners with me.

IF A POOR BROTHER SELLS HIS LAND

[24] And in all the land of your possession ye shall grant a redemption for the land.

[25] If thy brother be waxen poor, and hath sold away some of his possession, and if any of his kin come to redeem it, then shall he redeem that which his brother sold.

[26] And if the man have none to redeem it, and himself be able to redeem it;

[27] Then let him count the years of the sale thereof, and restore the overplus unto the man to whom he sold it; that he may return unto his possession.

[28] But if he be not able to restore it to him, then that which is sold shall remain in the hand of him that hath bought it until the year of jubile: and in the jubile it shall go out, and he shall return unto his possession.

[29] And if a man sell a dwelling house in a walled city, then he may redeem it within a whole year after it is sold; within a full year may he redeem it.

[30] And if it be not redeemed within the space of a full year, then the house that is in the walled city shall be established for ever to him that bought it throughout his generations: it shall not go out in the jubile.

[31] But the houses of the villages which have no wall round about them shall be counted as the fields of the country: they may be redeemed, and they shall go out in the jubile.

[32] Notwithstanding the cities of the Levites, and the houses of the cities of their possession, may the Levites redeem at any time.

[33] And if a man purchase of the Levites, then the house that was sold, and the city of his possession, shall go out in the year of jubile: for the houses of the cities of the Levites are their possession among the children of Israel.

[34] But the field of the suburbs of their cities may not be sold; for it is their perpetual possession.

Deuteronomy דברים (DaBaR’eyM) 26:

1 And it shall be, when thou art come in unto the land which יהוה (Yahuah) thy Alaheym giveth thee for an inheritance, and possessest it, and dwellest therein;

2 That thou shalt take of the first of all the fruit of the earth, which thou shalt bring of thy land that יהוה (Yahuah) thy Alaheym giveth thee, and shalt put it in a basket, and shalt go unto the place which יהוה (Yahuah) thy Alaheym shall choose to place his name there.

3 And thou shalt go unto the priest that shall be in those days, and say unto him, I profess this day unto יהוה (Yahuah) thy Alaheym, that I am come unto the country which יהוה (Yahuah) sware unto our fathers for to give us.

4 And the priest shall take the basket out of thine hand, and set it down before the altar of יהוה (Yahuah) thy Alaheym.

5 And thou shalt speak and say before יהוה (Yahuah) thy Alaheym, A Syrian ready to perish was my father, and he went down into Egypt, and sojourned there with a few, and became there a nation, great, mighty, and populous:

6 And the Egyptians evil entreated us, and afflicted us, and laid upon us hard bondage:

7 And when we cried unto יהוה (Yahuah) Alaheym of our fathers, יהוה (Yahuah) heard our voice, and looked on our affliction, and our labour, and our oppression:

8 And יהוה (Yahuah) brought us forth out of Egypt with a mighty hand, and with an outstretched arm, and with great terribleness, and with signs, and with wonders:

9 And he hath brought us into this place, and hath given us this land, even a land that floweth with milk and honey.

10 And now, behold, I have brought the firstfruits of the land, which thou, O יהוה (Yahuah), hast given me. And thou shalt set it before יהוה (Yahuah) thy Alaheym, and worship before יהוה (Yahuah) thy Alaheym:

11 And thou shalt rejoice in every good thing which יהוה (Yahuah) thy Alaheym hath given unto thee, and unto thine house, thou, and the Levite, and the stranger that is among you.

12 When thou hast made an end of tithing all the tithes of thine increase the third year, which is the year of tithing, and hast given it unto the Levite, the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, that they may eat within thy gates,and be filled;

13 Then thou shalt say before יהוה (Yahuah) thy Alaheym, I have brought away the hallowed things out of mine house, and also have given them unto the Levite, and unto the stranger, to the fatherless, and to the widow, according to all thy commandments which thou hast commanded me: I have not transgressed thy commandments, neither have I forgotten them.

14 I have not eaten thereof in my mourning, neither have I taken away ought thereof for any unclean use, nor given ought thereof for the dead: but I have hearkened to the voice of יהוה (Yahuah) my Alaheym, and have done according to all that thou hast commanded me.

15 Look down from thy holy habitation, from heaven, and bless thy people Israel, and the land which thou hast given us, as thou swarest unto our fathers, a land that floweth with milk and honey.
