Leviticus 25:12-27
English Standard Version
13"In this year of jubilee each of you shall return to his property.
14And if you make a sale to your neighbor or buy from your neighbor, you shall not wrong one another.
15You shall pay your neighbor according to the number of years after the jubilee, and he shall sell to you according to the number of years for crops.
16If the years are many, you shall increase the price, and if the years are few, you shall reduce the price, for it is the number of the crops that he is selling to you.
17You shall not wrong one another, but you shall fear your God, for I am the Lord your God.
18"Therefore you shall do my statutes and keep my rules and perform them, and then you will dwell in the land securely.
19The land will yield its fruit, and you will eat your fill and dwell in it securely.
20And if you say, ‘What shall we eat in the seventh year, if we may not sow or gather in our crop?’
21I will command my blessing on you in the sixth year, so that it will produce a crop sufficient for three years.
22When you sow in the eighth year, you will be eating some of the old crop; you shall eat the old until the ninth year, when its crop arrives.
23"The land shall not be sold in perpetuity, for the land is mine. For you are strangers and sojourners with me.
24And in all the country you possess, you shall allow a redemption of the land.
25"If your brother becomes poor and sells part of his property, then his nearest redeemer shall come and redeem what his brother has sold.
26If a man has no one to redeem it and then himself becomes prosperous and finds sufficient means to redeem it,
27let him calculate the years since he sold it and pay back the balance to the man to whom he sold it, and then return to his property.
