Leviticus 25:13-28
13‘aOn this year of jubilee, each of you shall return to his own possession of land. 14‘If you make a sale, moreover, to your companion or buy from your friend’s hand, ayou shall not mistreat one another. 15‘Corresponding to the number of years after the jubilee, you shall buy from your 1companion; he is to sell to you according to the number of years of produce. 16‘aIn proportion to the 1extent of the years you shall increase its price, and in proportion to the fewness of the years you shall diminish its price, for it is the number of crops it produces that he is selling to you. 17‘So ayou shall not mistreat one another, but you shall 1fear your God; for I am Yahweh your God.
18‘You shall thus observe My statutes and keep My judgments, so as to do them, that ayou may live securely on the land. 19‘Then the land will yield its fruit, so that you can eat your fill and live securely on it. 20‘But if you say, “aWhat are we going to eat on the seventh year 1if we do not sow or gather in our produce?” 21then aI will command My blessing for you in the sixth year that it will bring forth the produce for three years. 22‘So you shall sow the eighth year and eat aold things from that produce, eating the old until the ninth year when its produce comes in.
The Redemption of Land
23‘The land, moreover, shall not be sold permanently, for athe land is Mine; for byou are but sojourners and foreign residents with Me. 24‘Thus for every 1piece of land of your possession, you shall provide for the redemption of the land.
25‘aIf a brother of yours becomes so poor he has to sell part of his possession of land, then his nearest kinsman redeemer is to come and redeem what his brother has sold. 26‘Or in case a man has no kinsman redeemer, but 1recovers his means and finds sufficient payment for its redemption, 27athen he shall calculate the years since its sale and return the balance to the man to whom he sold it, and so return to his possession of land. 28‘But if 1he has not found sufficient means to return it to himself, then what he has sold shall remain in the hands of its purchaser until the year of jubilee; but at the jubilee it shall 2revert, that ahe may return to his possession of land.
