Leviticus 25:10
“You shall make the fiftieth year holy, and proclaim liberty throughout the land to all its inhabitants. It shall be a Jubilee to you; and you shall return every man to his possession, and you shall return every man to his family.”
The book of Leviticus, written by a priest, provides a detailed set of laws for the community of Israel after their exodus from Egypt.

This verse is part of a longer section outlining the Jubilee year, a unique social and economic reset.
