Leviticus 25:22-27
New American Standard Bible
23‘The land, moreover, shall not be sold permanently, because the land is Mine; for you are only strangers and residents with Me.
24So for every piece of your property, you are to provide for the redemption of the land.
25‘If a fellow countryman of yours becomes so poor that he sells part of his property, then his closest redeemer is to come and buy back what his relative has sold.
26Or in case someone has no redeemer, but recovers to find sufficient means for its redemption,
27then he shall calculate the years since its sale and refund the balance to the man to whom he sold it, and so return to his property.
King James Version
23The land shall not be sold for ever: for the land is mine; for ye are strangers and sojourners with me.
24And in all the land of your possession ye shall grant a redemption for the land.
25If 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.
26And if the man have none to redeem it, and himself be able to redeem it;
27Then 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.
Christian Standard Bible
23"The land is not to be permanently sold because it is mine, and you are only aliens and temporary residents on my land.
24You are to allow the redemption of any land you occupy.
25If your brother becomes destitute and sells part of his property, his nearest relative may come and redeem what his brother has sold.
26If a man has no family redeemer, but he prospers and obtains enough to redeem his land,
27he may calculate the years since its sale, repay the balance to the man he sold it to, and return to his property.
New Living Translation
24With every purchase of land you must grant the seller the right to buy it back.
25If one of your fellow Israelites falls into poverty and is forced to sell some family land, then a close relative should buy it back for him.
26If there is no close relative to buy the land, but the person who sold it gets enough money to buy it back,
27he then has the right to redeem it from the one who bought it. The price of the land will be discounted according to the number of years until the next Year of Jubilee. In this way the original owner can then return to the land.
English Standard Version
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.
New International Version
23'The land must not be sold permanently, because the land is mine and you reside in my land as foreigners and strangers.
24Throughout the land that you hold as a possession, you must provide for the redemption of the land.
25'If one of your fellow Israelites becomes poor and sells some of their property, their nearest relative is to come and redeem what they have sold.
26If, however, there is no one to redeem it for them but later on they prosper and acquire sufficient means to redeem it themselves,
27they are to determine the value for the years since they sold it and refund the balance to the one to whom they sold it; they can then go back to their own property.
New King James Version
23‘The land shall not be sold permanently, for the land is Mine; for you are strangers and sojourners with Me.
24And in all the land of your possession you shall grant redemption of the land.
25‘If one of your brethren becomes poor, and has sold some of his possession, and if his redeeming relative comes to redeem it, then he may redeem what his brother sold.
26Or if the man has no one to redeem it, but he himself becomes able to redeem it,
27then let him count the years since its sale, and restore the remainder to the man to whom he sold it, that he may return to his possession.
